On Trust and AI

Overview

On Trust and AI offers a blueprint for building confidence in intelligent systems. It explains how to design, govern, and secure enterprise AI so that its decisions remain transparent, verifiable, and aligned with human intent. Drawing from real-world security experience, Feick frames AI not as a single technology to be controlled but as a living ecosystem to be understood and managed.

The book moves from foundational concepts — like how to shift trust off the model and into observable systems — to practical applications across governance, workflow design, and human oversight. It exposes common failure modes in corporate AI adoption, from blind trust in automation to burnout caused by over-reliance on human verification. The result is a framework leaders can use to measure and operationalize trust across their organizations.

Positioning

More than a cybersecurity guide, On Trust and AI is a leadership manual for the AI era. It equips decision-makers with a vocabulary for responsible deployment and a blueprint for integrating AI safely into their businesses — without hollowing out the human expertise that makes those businesses resilient.
