How to Trust AI Predictions?

Machines routinely outperform experts in predicting, for example, which employee will succeed on the job and optimising a supply chain, because they can process mountains of data through sophisticated equations in the time it takes for a lesser human brain to decide on lunch. Machines can also improve our quality of life as customers by making predictions about what we like to wear, watch, and consume for our health. Though algorithms promise to make our lives smarter, happier, and more efficient, many still struggle to overcome their "algorithm aversion," making them resistant to its benefits. We hesitate to put our faith in an abstract algorithm and would rather seek advice from a living, breathing entity. At least if my doctor or buddy is wrong, I can tease them about their bad gut instinct.
