Edelman's annual Trust Barometer, which tracks global trust since 2001, has found that employers are the only group that the majority report are succeeding in building trust.

The challenge for leaders is to define a sense of shared identity, with Walker suggesting that being seen as competent and ethical isn't enough, but authentic. He also highlighted the need for action beyond "talk" to build trust, with Miller suggesting that AI could democratize access to expertise but it will be hard to come back from if left to free markets.
