Summary
To conceptualize, model, introduce and implement trust in new autonomous technologies is the fundamental step towards their real active cooperation with other autonomous entities (whether artificial or natural). This book gives an accessible explanation of the importance of trust in autonomous technologies. The authors explain the concepts of trust, and describe a principled, general theory of trust grounded on technical, cultural, institutional, and legal solutions. This provides a strong base for the author's discussion of role of trust in agent-based systems supporting human-computer interaction and distributed and virtual organizations or markets (multi-agent systems).
