AI search has a trust problem. Transparency is the fix

In recent months, nearly two-thirds of American adults have tried using AI-powered search tools. However, a significant concern for developers is that only 15% of these users express a high level of trust in the search results they receive. This lack of trust suggests that many consumers feel AI search functions like a “walled garden,” limiting their access to diverse information. For product builders, this highlights the urgent need to improve transparency and reliability in AI search tools to build user confidence and ensure that these technologies serve as open and trustworthy resources. QUESTION: How might the perception of AI search tools as a “walled garden” influence the future development of technology and its acceptance by the public?
