Example text

Alice can offset her lack of trust with increased control over Bob or she may decide to trust Bob and relax her control. g. she may prefer to be dependent on Carol, but not on Bob), etc. In other words, even though life without any need for confidence seems to be an unlikely proposition, Alice has a certain flexibility how, whom, and to what extent she would like to trust and control. Specifically, we can see the tendency to talk about trust but implement control – in the form of surveillance systems, access codes, complex authentication rules, audit trials, etc.

We can deduct the existence of control only as a difference between trustworthy behaviour and trustworthiness. Defining all elements of those formulas in terms of subjective probability, we have: • Trust is an estimate of a subjective probability of certain desired course of actions in the absence of control. • Control is the difference between the estimate of the subjective probability of trustworthy behaviour and trust. Thus, trustworthiness is Bob’s internal intention while Alice does not exercise any of her control instruments.

Similarly, we assess our trust and our confidence according to what we know about devices. Even though expectations and evidences are different, the mechanism seems to be similar. It is different because this relationship is morally void. There are no ethical guidelines whether to trust the Internet or not. There is no moral ground in trusting a faulty computer in the expectation that it will reciprocate. Our relationship perhaps is equally emotional, but otherwise it is utilitarian and rational.
