Issue The trust contract: explain, ask, act, with human control at every step

Summary

This issue brings together Capgemini's findings on control, explanation, privacy, and labelling into one condition for consumer AI. Some 76 percent want strict limits before an assistant acts, 66 to 69 percent trust AI more when explanations are clear, and 71 percent are extremely worried about unclear consent and data misuse. A further 67 percent want AI-generated ads and content labelled. The report calls the combined result a trust contract in which AI explains, asks, and then acts, with human control throughout. It recommends showing a plain-language rationale and securing one-tap approval or respecting preset guardrails before any AI-initiated step.
