Trust Dialogues

Trust Dialogues are TIM’s public virtual conversations that highlight leaders across sectors who bring insight into how trust, credibility, and information quality show up in their work. These sessions help raise awareness of the information trust crisis, elevate practical examples, and potentially even spark new ideas for collaboration.

Lessons on Building Trust in the Age of AI

Featuring Tiffany Saade

Tiffany Saade, AI security leader at Cisco and advisor to Lebanon's Minister of AI, joined Trust in Media Cooperative for our first Trust Dialogue of 2026. Tiffany brought a rare combination of technical, policy, and frontline governance experience, shaping AI frameworks in a country rebuilding public trust from the ground up.

In this session, Tiffany explored what it takes to build trust in information when institutions, technology, and the public are starting from a fragile baseline. She shared lessons from Lebanon's emerging AI ecosystem, including how governments, companies, and citizens understand and respond to AI generated content, how low trust environments make it harder for people to distinguish reliable information, and what these dynamics signal for the United States as public trust continues to decline.
