## Summary

Cisco released research with independent researcher Brad Howarth, based on data from 25 Australian organizations, arguing that trust now limits enterprise AI scaling more than technology does. The report cites University of Melbourne and KPMG research showing only 36% of Australians trust AI, the lowest among 47 countries surveyed. It recommends IT leaders track how often employees challenge or override AI outputs rather than treating log-ins as a proxy for trust.
