● Design

AI earns trust at the interface.

Trust is not a disclaimer or confidence score. It is the user’s ability to understand, verify, correct, and control what the system does.

AI interface showing evidence, confidence and controls

Design / VOL. 07

People do not calibrate trust from model architecture. They infer it from behavior: what the product promises, when it hesitates, whether evidence is available, how corrections work, and who remains in control. Interface decisions become system-governance decisions.

Show provenance where it changes a decision

Citations are useful only when users can inspect the relevant evidence quickly. Highlight the passage, freshness, and source authority. Do not add a decorative list of links that forces the user to reconstruct the answer.

Design correction as a first-class path

Users should be able to edit inputs, constrain the next attempt, correct the output, undo an action, or hand it to a person without starting over. Corrections should improve both the immediate task and the team’s understanding of system behavior.
