Circle of Trust

A conceptual framework for understanding the relationships and boundaries surrounding Non-Human Identities (NHIs).

Description

The 'Circle of Trust' refers to the specific social, emotional, and ethical boundaries that define the interactions between humans and Non-Human Identities (NHIs), such as artificial intelligences, robots, or other entities that may possess some form of agency or representation. This concept emphasizes the need for a clear understanding of how trust is established and maintained in relationships between humans and NHIs. Within this framework, the circle represents a safe space where NHIs are recognized and respected, allowing for collaboration, communication, and mutual understanding. Trust can be built through transparency, accountability, and ethical considerations in the design and deployment of NHIs. As NHIs become increasingly integrated into society, the Circle of Trust serves as a guide for ethical engagement, ensuring that interactions promote positive outcomes for both humans and NHIs. By delineating the responsibilities and expectations of each party, the Circle of Trust helps navigate the complexities of these relationships in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Examples

  • A collaborative AI system that assists in medical diagnoses, where trust is built through reliability and transparency in its recommendations.
  • A robot designed to provide companionship to elderly individuals, operating within a defined emotional support framework that respects personal boundaries.

Additional Information

  • The Circle of Trust can evolve as NHIs develop more complex capabilities.
  • Ethical guidelines and regulations may influence the boundaries of the Circle of Trust in various contexts.
