The Dynamics of Trust in AI

We are in the middle of the fourth industrial revolution. From self-driving cars, autonomous drones, customer support conversational agents to faster drug discovery, bionics and the possibility to live over 100 years, companies are placing bets on data and AI.

Experts predict that AI will “increasingly mediate our social, cultural, economic, and political interactions”, and, ultimately, change our society. 

What kind of change would it be? 

Besides the promises of a positive social and economic impact, the use of AI and the infrastructures behind it are often controversial. The controversy has to do with humans rather than machines, and the questions of ethics and trust are increasingly raised in conversations about AI. 

The cost of using AI is decreasing boosting the diffusion of AI-powered solutions to societies without considering the complex dynamics of trust and ethics. 

Ethical reflection on AI and dynamics of trust in AI is simply not keeping up with the speed of its diffusion. 

On September 28th at 3 PM CET, #humanAIze and Data Natives will host a virtual event dedicated to human-centric AI, public-private sectors collaboration, AI policy and its adoption in Europe fueled by data and global insights.

The event will provide a thought-provoking content with a multi-disciplinary & cross-functional overview of AI and touch upon the questions of trustworthy and ethical AI with a participation of high profile speakers:
