Designing AI Systems that People Trust

With Raju Reddy, entrepreneur, investor, and technology leader, in conversation with Anji Maram, Founder and CEO, CriticalRiver Inc.

The conversation most AI discussions skip: how do you build trust when technology is moving faster than ever? Anji Maram and Raju Reddy explore why trust is no longer just a brand message, but a product, architecture, and leadership decision. Together, they cut through the hype around AI, data, and enterprise systems to unpack what’s working, what’s broken, and the hard truths leaders must face to build systems that people trust and organizations can scale with confidence.
