Appropriate context-dependent artificial trust in human-machine teamwork

As human-machine teams become a more common scenario, we need to ensure mutual trust between humans and machines. More important than having trust, we need all teammates to trust each other appropriately. This means that they should not overtrust or undertrust each other, avoiding risks and inefficiencies, respectively. We usually think of...

In human-agent teams, how one teammate trusts another teammate should correspond to the latter's actual trustworthiness, creating what we would call appropriate mutual trust. Although this sounds obvious, the notion of appropriate mutual trust for human-agent teamwork lacks a formal definition. In this article, we propose a formalization which...

More Similar Values, More Trust? - the Effect of Value Similarity on Trust in Human-Agent Interaction

As AI systems are increasingly involved in decision making, it also becomes important that they elicit appropriate levels of trust from their users. To achieve this, it is first important to understand which factors influence trust in AI. We identify that a research gap exists regarding the role of personal values in trust in AI. Therefore, this...

Integrity-based Explanations for Fostering Appropriate Trust in AI Agents

Appropriate trust is an important component of the interaction between people and AI systems, in that ‘inappropriate’ trust can cause disuse, misuse or abuse of AI. To foster appropriate trust in AI, we need to understand how AI systems can elicit appropriate levels of trust from their users. Out of the aspects that influence trust, this paper...

Building Appropriate Trust in AI: The Significance of Integrity-Centered Explanations

Establishing an appropriate level of trust between people and AI systems is crucial to avoid the misuse, disuse, or abuse of AI. Understanding how AI systems can generate appropriate levels of trust among users is necessary to achieve this goal. This study focuses on the impact of displaying integrity, which is one of the factors that influence...
