Tesla Is the Least Trusted EV in the U.S., Survey Finds
Tesla's reputation is in a crash it can't control, much like the people who are behind the wheel when the car's self-driving features fail to stop. In the latest Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report, Tesla saw its perception erode among consumers, leading to the company scoring the lowest trust score among all major EV makers. According to the survey, just 26% of participants have a somewhat or very positive view of Tesla—significantly outweighed by the 39% plurality who have a somewhat or very negative view of the company. That leaves Tesla underwater on perception, scoring -13 in net positive view. To give you an idea of just how quickly the company is tanking its reputation, the same report found in April that Tesla had a net positive perception of -7, so that has nearly doubled in just a couple of months. The situation actually gets worse when the report considers the 'intensity score,' which compares the number of people who feel strongly in either direction. There, Tesla sinks further to a score of -16. Basically, of the people who have strong views about Tesla, the hate greatly outweighs the love. On trust, the water keeps on rising over Tesla's head. While 40% of survey participants said they somewhat trust or trust the brand a lot, 48% fell on the opposite side of the spectrum, either somewhat distrusting or distrusting the company a lot. That gives Tesla a net trust score of -8, by far the worst of any major EV company. In fact, the only other company to finish with a negative trust score is Vinfast, a Vietnamese automaker that couldn't find its footing in the American market. Just as with perception, Tesla's trust issues get worse when zooming in on the people with the strongest opinions. Tesla's trust rating drops to -19 when comparing those who trust Tesla a lot versus those who distrust the company a lot. Tesla's problems run deep, too. The company has a knack for capturing headlines—in part thanks to the media magnet that is CEO Elon Musk—but that really works against you when your vehicles are involved in high-profile accidents or embarrassing failures, like the Tesla Robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas. To that end, Tesla now has the lowest perceived safety rating of any major EV, per the report, with 55% of people viewing the company's cars as safe. A big driver of the low safety score is Tesla's self-driving functionality, which simply does not have many fans among those who prefer not to be involved in fiery crashes. The report found that 53% of respondents believe robotaxis should be outlawed, and 55% believe Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology should be illegal. All of that seems to fall in line with the fact that Tesla sales have been dropping precipitously over the last several months, even as Musk claims he's back to focusing on the company (when forming a new political party doesn't steal away his attention). But aside from all that, everything is going great!

Qlik releases trust score for AI in Qlik Talend Cloud
Dubai, UAE - Qlik®, a global leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence, today announced the general availability of Qlik Trust Score™ for AI, an industry-leading innovation designed to help organizations assess whether data is truly ready for AI, before it ever reaches a model. Included within Qlik Talend Cloud®, the Qlik Trust Score for AI introduces purpose-built scoring across AI-specific dimensions, helping customers establish the data foundations needed for responsible, scalable AI. As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, many face a fundamental blind spot: they don't know if the data feeding their models is trustworthy or fit for purpose. Qlik Trust Score for AI solves that problem with a single, intuitive score that shows teams where trust breaks down. This helps prevent bias, drift, or faulty outcomes from taking hold. 'Most companies still treat data trust like an IT hygiene issue. It's not. It's the foundation of every AI decision a business makes,' said Drew Clarke, EVP of Product and Technology at Qlik. 'If you can't measure trust, you're gambling with outcomes, compliance, and customer experience. With Qlik Trust Score for AI, we're giving leaders a living signal, not a gut check, that their data is fit for purpose. That's how you close the gap between AI ambition and AI impact.' Qlik Trust Score for AI builds upon Qlik's original Trust Score framework by introducing three new dimensions purpose-built for AI readiness: Diversity: Measures how representative and balanced the data is, helping to reduce bias in AI training. Timeliness: Captures the freshness of data flowing into AI models, ensuring relevance for more accurate decision-making. Accuracy: Flags values that fall outside user-defined business rules or unreliable quality expectations that can erode organizational trust in AI. Combined with existing metrics like Discoverability and Usage, Qlik Trust Score for AI offers a practical way to validate datasets for use in AI training, RAG pipelines, or intelligent automation, with Security and LLM Readiness dimensions to follow. As a part of Qlik's vision for data quality and governance for AI initiatives, Qlik is also rolling out additional features, including Qlik Trust Score historization, which allows users to monitor trends over time and correlate shifts in trust with downstream impacts, including model drift or performance degradation. In addition, Qlik will also roll out an early access program for an AI-native Data Stewardship experience within Qlik Talend Cloud, aimed at proactively detecting and resolving data issues earlier in the lifecycle. Targeted to launch this fall, this capability will combine automated rules, human-in-the-loop workflows, and platform-wide governance. This enables data teams and AI personas to collaborate more effectively on data quality remediation. 'AI initiatives are still stumbling at alarming rates—only a fraction succeed in delivering enterprise-scale value,' said Ritu Jyoti, Group VP/GM, AI, Automation, Data and Analytics at IDC. 'The missing link isn't the model; it's the data. Without visible metrics for data trust, organizations risk costly failures, unchecked bias, and stalled adoption. A unified trust signal like Qlik's Trust Score for AI gives teams the concrete insight they need to make AI reliable and repeatable.' 'Reworld is one of many Qlik customers focused on operationalizing trust in their AI strategy. 'The hardest part of AI is rarely the model. It's trusting the data behind it. In our business, if we can't stand behind the data, we can't stand behind the decisions,' said Charles Link, Senior Director of Data and Analytics at Reworld. 'A clear, continuous signal that tells you whether data is truly ready for AI creates a new standard. It brings trust out of the shadows and into the conversation, where it belongs.' According to a recent Qlik survey, only 42% of executives express full, audit-ready trust in AI-generated insights, even though nearly 90% say AI is now core to their competitive strategy. The Qlik Trust Score for AI bridges this trust gap with an objective, repeatable framework that aligns to emerging governance standards. Qlik is the first to bring a unified, AI-specific trust signal directly into the heart of the data pipeline. It combines measurement, monitoring, and remediation within one experience. Qlik Trust Score for AI is now generally available to all Qlik Talend Cloud Enterprise Edition customers.
