AI and Trust

2023-12-04 12:05

I wrote about four systems for enabling trust: our innate morals, concern about our reputations, the laws we live under, and security technologies that constrain our behavior.

Laws and security technologies are systems of trust that force us to act trustworthy.

Because of how large and complex society has become, we have replaced many of the rituals and behaviors of interpersonal trust with security mechanisms that enforce reliability and predictability-social trust.

We have been talking about one particular failure that results from overly trusting AI. We can call it something like "Hidden exploitation." There are others.

There's illegality, where you mistakenly trust the AI to obey the law.

There are probably more ways trusting an AI can fail.
