Abstract

In its AI Act, the European Union chose to understand trustworthiness of AI in terms of the acceptability of its risks. Based on a narrative systematic literature review on institutional trust and AI in the public sector, this article argues that the EU adopted a simplistic conceptualization of trust and is overselling its regulatory ambition. The paper begins by reconstructing the conflation of “trustworthiness” with “acceptability” in the AI Act. It continues by developing a prescriptive set of variables for reviewing trust research in the context of AI. The paper then uses those variables for a narrative review of prior research on trust and trustworthiness in AI in the public sector. Finally, it relates the findings of the review to the EU's AI policy. Its prospects to successfully engineer citizen's trust are uncertain. There remains a threat of misalignment between levels of actual trust and the trustworthiness of applied AI.
可信赖的人工智能和欧盟人工智能法案:关于可信赖性和风险可接受性的合并
在其《人工智能法案》中,欧盟选择从风险的可接受性方面来理解人工智能的可信赖性。基于对公共部门机构信任和人工智能的系统性文献综述,本文认为欧盟采用了一种简单的信任概念,并夸大了其监管野心。本文首先重构了人工智能法案中“可信赖性”与“可接受性”的合并。它继续通过开发一套规定性变量来审查人工智能背景下的信任研究。然后,本文使用这些变量对公共部门人工智能的信任和可信赖性的先前研究进行了叙述性回顾。最后,它将审查结果与欧盟的人工智能政策联系起来。它能否成功地赢得公民的信任还不确定。实际信任水平与应用人工智能的可信度之间仍然存在不一致的威胁。

期刊介绍: Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference.
