- Abstract summary: We present a theoretical analysis of the $textittrust game$, the canonical task for studying trust in behavioral and brain sciences.
Specifically, leveraging reinforcement learning to train our AI agents, we investigate learning trust under various parameterizations of this task.
Our theoretical analysis, corroborated by the simulations results presented, provides a mathematical basis for the emergence of trust in the trust game.

- Abstract: Widely considered a cornerstone of human morality, trust shapes many aspects
of human social interactions. In this work, we present a theoretical analysis
of the $\textit{trust game}$, the canonical task for studying trust in
behavioral and brain sciences, along with simulation results supporting our
analysis. Specifically, leveraging reinforcement learning (RL) to train our AI
agents, we systematically investigate learning trust under various
parameterizations of this task. Our theoretical analysis, corroborated by the
simulations results presented, provides a mathematical basis for the emergence
of trust in the trust game.

Much has been discussed about trusting AI and ML inferences, but little has been done to define what that means.
producing ever more trustworthy machine learning inferences is a path to increase the value of products.

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have been increasingly adopted as simulation tools to model humans in applications such as social science.
In this paper, we focus on one of the most critical behaviors in human interactions, trust, and aim to investigate whether or not LLM agents can simulate human trust behaviors.

Behavioral experiments on the trust game have shown that trust and trustworthiness are universal among human beings.
We turn to the paradigm of reinforcement learning, where individuals update their strategies by evaluating the long-term return through accumulated experience.
In the pairwise scenario, we reveal that high levels of trust and trustworthiness emerge when individuals appreciate both their historical experience and returns in the future.

We propose a mental model based theory of trust that can be used to infer trust.
We then use the theory to define trust evolution, human reliance and decision making, and a formalization of the appropriate level of trust in the agent.

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.

The problem of human trust in artificial intelligence is one of the most fundamental problems in applied machine learning.
We draw from statistical learning theory and sociological lenses on human-automation trust to motivate an AI-as-tool framework.
We clarify the role of interpretability in trust with a ladder of model access.

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 further extend the concept of trust densities with the notion of conditional trust densities.
