Towards a Trustful Digital World : Exploring Self-Sovereign Identity Ecosystems

2021

In the current global situation-burdened by, among others, a vast number of people without formal identification, digital leap, the need for health passports and contact tracking applications-providing private and secure digital identity for individuals, organizations and other entities is crucial. The emerging self-sovereign identity (SSI) solutions rely on distributed ledger technologies and verifiable credentials and have the potential to enable trustful digital interactions. In this human-centric paradigm, trust among actors can be established in a decentralized manner while the identity holders are able to own and control their confidential data. In this paper, we build on observations…

Governance of Ethical and Trustworthy Al Systems: Research Gaps in the ECCOLA Method

2021

Advances in machine learning (ML) technologies have greatly improved Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. As a result, AI systems have become ubiquitous, with their application prevalent in virtually all sectors. However, AI systems have prompted ethical concerns, especially as their usage crosses boundaries in sensitive areas such as healthcare, transportation, and security. As a result, users are calling for better AI governance practices in ethical AI systems. Therefore, AI development methods are encouraged to foster these practices. This research analyzes the ECCOLA method for developing ethical and trustworthy AI systems to determine if it enables AI governance in development process…

Can visualization alleviate dichotomous thinking? Effects of visual representations on the cliff effect

2021

Common reporting styles for statistical results in scientific articles, such as $p$ p -values and confidence intervals (CI), have been reported to be prone to dichotomous interpretations, especially with respect to the null hypothesis significance testing framework. For example when the $p$ p -value is small enough or the CIs of the mean effects of a studied drug and a placebo are not overlapping, scientists tend to claim significant differences while often disregarding the magnitudes and absolute differences in the effect sizes. This type of reasoning has been shown to be potentially harmful to science. Techniques relying on the visual estimation of the strength of evidence have been recom…

Entrepreneurial choices depend on trust : Some global evidence

2022

Interpersonal trust and people’s trust in institutions are important components of social capital, which has been shown to have not only innate social value but also diverse direct and indirect positive social and economic impacts. Using data for an economically and globally diverse group of countries, we examine empirically how changes in interpersonal trust and trust in institutions affect entrepreneurship over time. Our findings suggest that (1) enhancing either type of trust leads to more entrepreneurial activity and (2) an increase in interpersonal trust causes a structural change in the composition of the TEA-type entrepreneurship. Increased trust reduces the share of relatively lower…

The roles of the state and social licence to operate? Lessons from nuclear waste management in Finland, France, and Sweden

2019

The concept of social licence to operate (SLO) is an increasingly popular tool for companies to manage their relations with the local communities. SLO is very seldom used in the nuclear sector, which has nevertheless applied similar approaches, under notions such as partnership and participatory governance. This article explores the specific challenges that the application of SLO faces in the nuclear waste management (NWM) sector, by applying an often-used SLO framework of Boutilier and Thomson to illustrative case studies concerning nuclear waste repository projects in Finland, France and Sweden. Among the specificities of this sector, the article focuses on the central roles of the state …

Verkkokaupan luottamuksen luonti

2008

Tietojärjestelmätieteen kandidaatintutkielma / Urpo Sippola Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2007, 28 s. Kandidaatintutkielma. Tässä tutkielmassa tutkitaan luottamusta ja sen luomista Internetin verkkokauppojen näkökulmasta. Tutkielma tehtiin kirjallisuuskatsauksena. Luottamuksen puute on yksi eniten verkkokaupan kasvua rajoittavia tekijöitä. Lisäksi kilpailu on Internetissä kovaa ja yrityksen pitää pystyä erottumaan joukosta muun muassa luotettavuudella. Selkein määritelmä luottamukselle on kuluttajan tapa vähentää riskiä. Luottamus ei kuitenkaan ole yksiulotteinen käsite. Luottamuksen käsite vaihtelee usein eri tieteenalojen näkökulmien mukaan. Kuluttajan suurin huoli, joka estää luottamu…

Luottamuksen loppu : konkurssiin ajautuminen ja sen vaikutukset konkurssintekijän elämään Jyväskylän kaupungissa 1870-luvulla

2012

Työssä tarkastellaan mikrohistoriallista lähestymistapaa hyödyntäen konkurssia ja sen kokeneita ihmisiä 1800-luvun jälkipuoliskon Jyväskylässä. Aiempi tutkimus on keskittynyt etenkin rannikkoseutujen suurkauppiaiden taloudellisen toiminnan selvittämiseen, joten työn alueellinen rajaus — pieni ja nuori sisämaan kaupunki — tarjoaa siten erilaisen lähtökohdan tulkinnoille. Toisin kuin useimmiten aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa, työssä pääosassa ovat menestyjien sijaan taloudellisessa elämässään vaikeuksiin joutuneet ihmiset. Työssä on kyse vararikkoisen selviytymisestä sekä tarkastelusta ennen ja jälkeen. Sosiaalisen pääoman teorian käsitteistön, etenkin luottamuksen ja maineen avulla työssä kysyt…

Techno-Trust and Rational Trust in Technology – A Conceptual Investigation

2018

Part 2: Methodological; International audience; Trust is essential when using technology. If people do not trust new technology, they do not accept it. If people do not accept new technologies such as autonomous ships, their development is hampered in the absence of financial support. The importance of trust brings into question the essential conceptual components of phenomena that contribute to trust. This knowledge is required for the basis of investigating trust in technology. Especially, it is important to understand why humans trust. The reasons can be intuitive but they can also be supported by rational arguments. The latter type of trust can be called rational trust. A beneficial way…
