Advertising uses love to sell stuff, like nylons. It also uses the word "love" in trivialising ways -- do you "love" your oven? When I hear about trust in the context of AI, especially agentic, I hope we don't do to trust what advertising has done to love. But what is trust? Can we discuss it in actionable and measurable ways in the context of AI? Thus I suggest a number of "trust pillars", hoping to start a communal conversation, across computing and beyond, to civil society. I also suggest that agentic systems may be a blessing in disguise, as we may be able to turn their explicit interfaces into "trust vectors".

翻译：广告利用爱情来推销商品，比如尼龙丝袜。它还用轻浮的方式滥用"爱"这个词——你"爱"你的烤箱吗？当我在人工智能（尤其是智能体系统）语境下听到关于信任的讨论时，我期望我们不要对信任做出广告对爱情所做的事。但信任究竟是什么？我们能否以可操作、可度量的方式在人工智能语境下对其进行讨论？为此，我提出若干"信任支柱"，希望开启一场跨越计算机科学及其他领域、延伸至公民社会的公共对话。我还认为，智能体系统或许是件因祸得福之事——我们可能将其显式接口转化为"信任向量"。
