Building TrustOps for the AI Era: A Conversation with Gartner's Dave Aron
Disinformation is no longer a societal problem at arm’s length. It is an enterprise risk with operational, financial and reputational consequences that boards are now seeing land on quarterly results. As AI accelerates the volume, speed and precision of misleading content, leaders are facing a new kind of threat: one that cannot be contained by traditional cybersecurity alone.
In our latest podcast episode, Building TrustOps for the AI Era, Distinguished VP Analyst and Gartner Fellow Dave Aron joins us to unpack why organisations must prepare for a “world without truth”, and why building an enterprise-wide discipline called TrustOps is the next essential capability for leaders across the C-suite.

TrustOps puts behavioural trust infrastructure at the centre of enterprise defence, and detection is the tenet where most teams find a gap. Signal by AI Uniti closes it with reproducible, audit-trail-grade detection of coordinated narrative manipulation, the discipline we revisit in the fifth tenet, replay.
What you’ll take away
- Why disinformation is exploding into a trillion-dollar enterprise risk
- How industrial disinformation operations are constructed and run
- Why cybersecurity tooling, however sophisticated, cannot handle modern misinformation
- The 90-day moves leaders should make to protect brand trust
- How a Trust Council becomes the frontline defence inside an organisation
A genuine thank you to Dave Aron and Andrew Frank for producing the World Without Truth material this conversation is built on. Every executive responsible for trust, risk or communications should treat this episode as both a warning and a window in which to prepare.
Where Signal fits
We built Signal by AI Uniti to tackle this exact problem at the behavioural-evidence layer. When TrustOps moves from concept to operating discipline, Detection is the tenet where most enterprises discover they have a tooling gap. Signal closes that gap with reproducible, audit-trail-grade detection of coordinated narrative manipulation.
