CALL FOR PANEL PARTICIPANTS - 18th IPrA Conference

PANEL: The pragmatics of trusting (artificial) others
Kerstin Fischer & Bracha Nir

Trust is a necessary ingredient for much, if not all, social interaction (e.g.
Weber, Weber & Carter, 2003:1), cooperation (McCabe, 2003) and sense of
belonging (Baumeister & Leary, 1995). Furthermore, we usually assume others to
be truthful (e.g. Grice, 1975), honest (Bellucci & Park, 2020) and a
trustworthy source of information (e.g., Sheard, 2015), able to fulfil their
promises (Searle, 1975; Friedrich & Southwood, 2011). 

More recently, artificial communicators are pushing into our social lives and
spaces, such as health apps, life coaches, message bots, personal assistants,
AI-powered human resource management systems, autonomous cars, and even social
robots, trying to convince us to trust them (or their developers do, cf. Anton
et al., 2020). Methodologically, this provides us with the unique opportunity
to investigate what influences trust, and how it is negotiated and regulated
in interaction, since one of the interaction partners can be entirely
controlled. While many psychological determinants of trust (e.g. Lokshina et
al., 2020; de Visser et al., 2020) have been identified, the aim of our panel
is to investigate the pragmatics of negotiating trust in interaction. 

Specifically, we address what linguistic, nonverbal and pragmatic strategies
are related to building trust, how trust is built dynamically in interaction,
what aspects of the context influence these dynamics, and what strategies
could be used to make people trust the system less, given that it may indeed
not be trustworthy. Our goal is to explore questions concerning both human
interaction and interactions between humans and artificial interaction
partners. 

We approach these and other issues from a multidisciplinary perspective, with
linguists, sociologists, communication scientists, philosophers,
psychologists, information and computer scientists, industrial engineers, and
digital media and graphic designers contributing to our understanding of the
pragmatics of trusting (artificial) others.
