Towards Risk-Free Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence: Significance and Requirements

Given the tremendous potential and influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-making (DM), these systems have found wide-ranging applications across diverse fields, including education, business, healthcare industries, government, and justice sectors. While AI and DM offer significant benefits, they also carry the risk of unfavourable outcomes for users and society. As a result, ensuring the safety, reliability, and trustworthiness of these systems becomes crucial. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the synergy between AI and DM, focussing on the importance of trustworthiness. The review addresses the following four key questions, guiding readers towards a deeper understanding of this topic: (i) why do we need trustworthy AI? (ii) what are the requirements for trustworthy AI? In line with this second question, the key requirements that establish the trustworthiness of these systems have been explained, including explainability, accountability, robustness, fairness, acceptance of AI, privacy, accuracy, reproducibility, and human agency, and oversight. (iii) how can we have trustworthy data? and (iv) what are the priorities in terms of trustworthy requirements for challenging applications? Regarding this last question, six different applications have been discussed, including trustworthy AI in education, environmental science, 5G-based IoT networks, robotics for architecture, engineering and construction, financial technology, and healthcare. The review emphasises the need to address trustworthiness in AI systems before their deployment in order to achieve the AI goal for good. An example is provided that demonstrates how trustworthy AI can be employed to eliminate bias in human resources management systems. The insights and recommendations presented in this paper will serve as a valuable guide for AI researchers seeking to achieve trustworthiness in their applications.

Collegiality and Co-Worker Relationship Quality at the Workplace

Regarding collegiality as a central element in todays globalized work environment, we provide insight into its influence in enhancing co-worker relationship quality. Utilizing social exchange theory to examine how interpersonal factors influence co-worker relationship quality among a group of 346 white-collar employees, we find that although co-worker commitment positively influences co-worker relationship quality, there is no indication that coworker-trustworthiness has a direct effect on co-worker relationship quality. Our findings suggest that the importance of trustworthiness in the workplace may have been overestimated. Our work therefore suggests that co-worker commitment appears to be the central construct contributing to better co-worker relationships.

Recognising the value of volunteers in performing and supporting leadership in rural communities

This paper explores the role of local volunteers in demonstrating transformational and transactional leadership in rural communities. Applying the lens of the Full Range Leadership Model and drawing on data from a case study of volunteers based in rural Western Australia, the nature of volunteer leadership was characterised. This characterisation revealed a mix of transformational and transactional leadership traits were applied across different volunteering activities in rural communities. The role of transformational leaders in introducing new initiatives was highlighted as was the importance of trustworthiness. A perennial concern for rural volunteering organisations is volunteer shortages, particularly in leadership roles. The study revealed that an individual's own perceptions about their transactional leadership capacities can present a barrier to their taking on a volunteering role. The study concludes by recommending that rural volunteer recruitment and retention strategies should focus on supporting volunteers to develop necessary transactional skills.

Cybersecurity, trustworthiness and resilient systems: guiding values for policy

ABSTRACTCyberspace relies on information technologies to mediate relations between different people, across different communication networks and is reliant on the supporting technology. These interactions typically occur without physical proximity and those working depending on cybersystems must be able to trust the overall human–technical systems that support cyberspace. As such, detailed discussion of cybersecurity policy would be improved by including trust as a key value to help guide policy discussions. Moreover, effective cybersystems must have resilience designed into them. This paper argues that trustworthy cybersystems are a key element to resilient systems, and thus are core to cybersecurity policy. The paper highlights the importance of trustworthiness for resilient cybersystems. The importance of trustworthiness is shown through a discussion of three events where trustworthiness was the target or casualty of cyberattacks: Stuxnet, hacking of communications and the Edward Snowden revelations. The impact of losing trust is highlighted, to underpin the argument that a resilient cybersystem ought to design in trustworthiness. The paper closes off by presenting a general set of policy implications arising from recognition of the interplay between trust, trustworthiness and resilience for effective cybersecurity.

What Role for Law, Human Rights, and Bioethics in an Age of Big Data, Consortia Science, and Consortia Ethics? The Importance of Trustworthiness.

The global bioeconomy is generating new paradigm-shifting practices of knowledge co-production, such as collective innovation; large-scale, data-driven global consortia science (Big Science); and consortia ethics (Big Ethics). These bioeconomic and sociotechnical practices can be forces for progressive social change, but they can also raise predicaments at the interface of law, human rights, and bioethics. In this article, we examine one such double-edged practice: the growing, multivariate exploitation of Big Data in the health sector, particularly by the private sector. Commercial exploitation of health data for knowledge-based products is a key aspect of the bioeconomy and is also a topic of concern among publics around the world. It is exacerbated in the current age of globally interconnected consortia science and consortia ethics, which is characterized by accumulating epistemic proximity, diminished academic independence, “extreme centrism”, and conflicted/competing interests among innovation actors. Extreme centrism is of particular importance as a new ideology emerging from consortia science and consortia ethics; this relates to invariably taking a middle-of-the-road populist stance, even in the event of human rights breaches, so as to sustain the populist support needed for consortia building and collective innovation. What role do law, human rights, and bioethics—separate and together—have to play in addressing these predicaments and opportunities in early 21st century science and society? One answer we propose is an intertwined ethico-legal normative construct, namely trustworthiness. By considering trustworthiness as a central pillar at the intersection of law, human rights, and bioethics, we enable others to trust us, which in turns allows different actors (both nonprofit and for-profit) to operate more justly in consortia science and ethics, as well as to access and responsibly use health data for public benefit.

Becoming a Trustworthy Profession: Doing Better Than Doing Good

Social work is a relationship-based profession. For this reason, social work professionals need to be perceived as trustworthy by those with whom we work. This address outlines the nature and importance of trustworthiness and the specific issues the social work profession faces in relation to the question of trustworthiness. I argue that scandals in human services and faith-based institutions as well as pressures associated with new public management create further challenges to achieving trustworthiness. The address discusses how the profession can enhance its trustworthiness through increasing our capacity to articulate professional purpose, committing to professional excellence and to being courageous in speaking out about abuses of power that impact on the lives of people who use our services.

Understanding Trust in IT Artifacts

This paper studies the role of trust and trustworthiness as it applies to inanimate software artifacts. Extrapolating from the meaning and theory of interpersonal trust and supporting theories, this study develops software artifact trustworthiness and trust scales for the context of antiviral software. The proposed constructs deal with trustworthiness beliefs in software predictability and performance, corresponding respectively to a partial conceptual overlap with the interpersonal trustworthiness beliefs of predictability and ability. Data collected from 232 users support the psychometric properties of the new scales and demonstrate their nomological validity. The analysis shows that in the case of this software artifact, trustworthiness but not trust, predicts user satisfaction. This is in apparent contrast to interpersonal trust in online contexts where trust and trustworthiness are mostly indistinguishable, and where in the few cases that trust was studied separately from trustworthiness, trust had always been a significant predictor. The importance of trustworthiness, but apparently not of trust, in a software artifact is discussed.

Religiosidad y comunicación interespacial en la Edad Media. Los viajes celestiales en el <em>Poema de Santa Oria</em>

The author discusses Gonzalo de Berceo's Poema de Santa Oria , finished around 1252, and analyzes its concept of heaven, with its stratification and hierarchical divisions according to the degree of sanctity of its inhabitants. He also examines the communication between the celestial and terrestrial worlds via the ascents to and descents from heaven that Santa Oria experiences, who otherwise lived locked up between walls from 1043 to 1070. The Vita of this saint from the region of La Rioja, based on the work of the cleric Muno and used by Berceo as a reliable source, reveals a variegated number of elements, from high as well as popular poetry, that accumulated in layers and bear upon ideas and beliefs about the heavenly world. Other themes that Berceo emphasizes are the importance of trustworthiness in the transmission —both oral and written— of the hagiographic texts used as exempla and the direct Information that the saint gave the biographer.
