Minitrack: Advances in Research on Trust, Trusted Systems, and Digital Technologies

Within the 53rd Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organize a minitrack on Advances in Research on Trust, Trusted Systems, and Digital Technologies. The 53rd HICSS, one of the most prominent conferences on Information Systems and Sciences worldwide, will be held January 8-11, 2020 at Grand Wailea Maui (http://hicss.hawaii.edu).

We seek to address advances in Advances in Research on Trust, Trusted Systems, and Digital Technologies. How do new advancements in both hardware and software technologies change the way we trust and trust-related processes? What forms will digital trust and trust in digital environments take? What shapes trust and its consequences? What are the various risks and vulnerabilities to trust imposed by emerging algorithmic capabilities, cloud-based platforms, complex platform infrastructures, and highly distributed peer-to-peer systems? What are the implications for trust as technologies take on capabilities with both social and moral agency? Some digital technologies may replace the trust we now have in institutions, as trust shifts from humans and central organizations to computers and anonymous decentralized organizations that know no geographic boundaries. When do trust in technology and trust in humans complement each other? For example, can trust and control complement each other in AI adoption? How do trust in humans, organizations, and technology interact with each other? How can digital platforms build swift trust? How do trust processes in in digital platforms and sharing economy context differ from traditional interpersonal trust models? How does trust in humans differ from trust in technology? Is it possible that human-like systems exacerbate rather than compensate weaknesses common in trust assessments? How does blockchain technology change the way we think about trust? How does trust evolve as an interplay of trust in different trust referents, e.g. individuals, technological systems and societal institutions?

We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding of different forms of trust in technology-mediated environments, including in societal, organizational, inter-organizational, network, platform, collective, and interpersonal contexts. Papers can use any acceptable methodology and theory. We welcome papers at any level of analysis and encourage papers that take a cross-level, multi-referent, and/or inter-disciplinary and/or process perspective. Some possible topic areas include but are not limited to the following:

·        Understanding issues of digital trust and risk in the context of sharing economy and other platform-based organizations, e.g., in the digital platform, among the users of the platform, in the organization behind the platform, and in societal institutions.

·        Understanding the relationship between an organization's handling of its users' data, e.g., privacy/integrity/security, use of the cloud, and trust in the organization.

·        Understanding the relationship between trust in an organization and trust in the organization's technology-based offerings and understanding the difference between trust in humans, organizations, and trust in technology.

·        Understanding how regulation and policy at the national and international levels influence issues of digital trust and the penetration of technology, e.g., in private and public sector, and the sharing economy, and vice versa.

·        How to leverage trust levels by implementing new forms of digital trust tools online? How can trust in AI based applications and services be supported?

·        Understanding trust relationships between users and emerging technologies, e.g., personal robots, smart toys, wearables, personal voice assistants, 3D printing, autonomous vehicles, drones.

·        Understanding the role of trust in the development and implementation of algorithms, e.g., functions, openness of coding, data collection and implementation of new services.

·        Investigating new digital trust cues that can signal and form trust, and the interplay of digital and human trust cues.

·        Understanding the relationship between trust and the development and dynamics of self-regulated, decentralized, peer-to-peer networks.

·        How does trust change in blockchain technology and cryptography contexts?

·        How does trust evolve in complex and multi-layered environments such as digital platforms and ecosystems?

·        Understanding the relationship between national culture and institutions and trust in technology and digital environments that know no geographic boundaries.

·        Understanding the relationship between trust, identity, control, and influence in digital environments.
