We are already used to trusting technological magic. Every time we use GPS without understanding the route, or let an algorithm determine what we see, we’re trusting a different type of wizard.

But when AI analyzes my research or transforms my spreadsheet, the better it gets, the harder it becomes to know if it’s wrong.
