Trust and governance

The principles that connect evidence, professional conduct and accountable use of technology.

Trust as an institutional discipline

Trust depends on the conditions under which knowledge is produced and used. Sources, methods, confidentiality and the handling of uncertainty affect whether an analytical conclusion can be understood and assessed.

Governance across the work

Governance connects those standards with responsibility. In an AI and digital setting, it also concerns the boundaries of automation, the role of human judgment and the ability to examine how a system informs or carries out a decision.
