If the electrical conductivity of silver is higher than any other element, why do we use gold instead in most of our electronic circuits?

The corrosion resistance of silver isn't great in any environment (think jewelry). Gold is incredibly non-reactive in many situations, which is why it can be used in the human body, on electrical components, as jewelry, etc.

Additionally, pure gold is more electrically conductive than most alloyed silver, which means the criteria of a project may require gold (as opposed to it being the "fancier" option) or copper, because silver (or other conductors) simply may not meet the required conductance.
