ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are transforming the way public services are delivered to citizens. Amidst the recent hype about AI, this seminar delves into the question of how to transition to a good AI society, where people trust AI-powered public services and are willing to use them. The speaker will share findings from her two empirical studies on the public’s initial trust in the use of AI in public services – one on the use of an AI decision aid in nursing care planning and the other on what are called “AI-driven” chatbots, used to answer citizen enquiries in lieu of municipal officials. Both studies were inspired by ergonomics studies of human-machine relations and are based on online experiments conducted in Japan. The findings show that certain pieces of information about the use of AI, when communicated to the public, make a difference in their initial trust.
