• Abstract: Trust is long recognized to be an important factor in Recommender Systems (RS). However, there are different perspectives on trust and different ways to evaluate it. Moreover, a link between trust and transparency is often assumed but not always further investigated. In this paper we first go through different understandings and measurements of trust in the AI and RS community, such as demonstrated and perceived trust. We then review the relationsships between trust and transparency, as well as mental models, and investigate different strategies to achieve transparency in RS such as explanation, exploration and exploranation (i.e., a combination of exploration and explanation). We identify a need for further studies to explore these concepts as well as the relationships between them.

  Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is a promising and emerging paradigm that injects the notion of social networking into smart objects (i.e., things) Due to the risks and uncertainty, a crucial and urgent problem to be settled is establishing reliable relationships within SIoT, that is, trust evaluation. We propose a novel knowledge-enhanced graph neural network (KGTrust) for better trust evaluation in SIoT.

  Efforts to promote fairness, accountability, and transparency are assumed to be critical in fostering Trust in AI (TAI) The lack of exposition on trust itself suggests that trust is commonly understood, uncomplicated, or even uninteresting. Our analysis of TAI publications reveals numerous orientations which differ in terms of who is doing the trusting (agent), in what (object), on the basis of what (basis), in order to what (objective), and why (impact)

  Trust evaluation is critical for many applications such as cyber security, social communication and recommender systems. We propose a new GNN based trust evaluation method named TrustGNN, which integrates smartly the propagative and composable nature of trust graphs. Specifically, TrustGNN designs specific propagative patterns for different propagative processes of trust, and distinguishes the contribution of different propagative processes to create new trust.

  We draw from communication theories and literature on trust in technologies to develop a conceptual model called MATCH. We highlight transparency and interaction as AI systems' affordances that present a wide range of trustworthiness cues to users. We propose a checklist of requirements to help technology creators identify appropriate cues to use.

• Trust and Reliance in XAI -- Distinguishing Between Attitudinal and Behavioral Measures [0.0]
  Researchers argue that AI should be more transparent to increase trust, making transparency one of the main goals of XAI. empirical research on this topic is inconclusive regarding the effect of transparency on trust. We advocate for a clear distinction between behavioral (objective) measures of reliance and attitudinal (subjective) measures of trust.

  This article outlines a new account of trustworthiness, dubbed the expectation-oriented account. To be trustworthy, we suggest, is to minimize the error associated with trustor expectations in situations of social dependency. In addition to outlining the features of the expectation-oriented account, we describe some of the implications of this account for the design, development, and management of trustworthy NISs.

  This paper studies how human and agent Value Similarity (VS) influences a human's trust in that agent. In a scenario-based experiment, 89 participants teamed up with five different agents, which were designed with varying levels of value similarity to that of the participants. Our results show that agents rated as having more similar values also scored higher on trust, indicating a positive effect between the two.

  We discuss a model of trust inspired by, but not identical to, sociology's interpersonal trust (i.e., trust between people) We incorporate a formalization of 'contractual trust', such that trust between a user and an AI is trust that some implicit or explicit contract will hold. We discuss how to design trustworthy AI, how to evaluate whether trust has manifested, and whether it is warranted.

  We conduct a thought experiment and explore two key questions about trust in relation to confidence. We introduce a suite of metrics for assessing the overall trustworthiness of deep neural networks based on their behaviour when answering a set of questions. The proposed metrics are by no means perfect, but the hope is to push the conversation towards better metrics.
