I wouldn’t trust an AI simply because it says it made the right decision. I would trust a system that’s designed to surface potential mistakes and continuously improve based on evidence. The question is how quickly it detects errors, how transparently it explains them and how reliably it learns from them.
What does John Kim say on The Agile Brand podcast?
John Kim, CEO, Delight.ai; Sendbird, says: This interview with John Kim, CEO of Delight.ai and co-founder/CEO of Sendbird, examines consumer expectations for AI in customer experience based on the 2026 Delight AI Index. Kim argues organizations should sequence autonomy by perceived customer risk, prioritize reversal and human-in-the-loop controls, measure trust rather than just efficiency, and prepare agents to communicate clearly to other AI systems as machine agents increasingly negotiate on customers' behalf.
