Imagine your phone’s map app tells you to turn left down a narrow, unpaved road. You hesitate because the road looks dodgy, but the app insists this is the fastest route. Do you trust your gut, or the glowing screen? This everyday dilemma gets at something much bigger — how much we rely on automated advice, and when that reliance becomes dangerous. In this chapter we look at that automatic trust, explore why it can fail us in moments that matter, and learn how to keep human judgment firmly in the driver’s seat.
