内容提要：The rapid adoption of digitalization in almost all aspects of economic activities has led to serious concerns in security, privacy, transparency and safety issues of digitalized systems. These issues will result in negative impacts on people’s trust in digitalization, which need to be addressed in order for organizations to reap the benefits of digitalization. The typical value proposition of digitalization such as elevated operational efficiency through automation and enhanced customer services through customer analytics require the collection, storage and processing of massive amount of user data, which are typical cause for data governance issues and concerns on cybersecurity, privacy and data misuses. AI-enabled processing and decision-making also lead to concerns on algorithm bias and distrust in digitalization. In this talk, we will brief review the motivation of digitalization, discuss the trust issues in digitalization, and introduce the emerging areas of Trust Technology which is a key enabler in developing and growing the digital economy.

数字化在经济活动几乎所有领域的快速普及，已引发人们对数字化系统在安全、隐私、透明度和安全性方面的严重关切。这些问题将对人们对数字化的信任产生负面影响，而组织若要充分获取数字化带来的效益，就必须解决这些问题。数字化的典型价值主张——例如通过自动化提升运营效率、通过客户分析改善客户服务——要求对海量用户数据进行收集、存储和处理，而这正是数据治理问题以及对网络安全、隐私和数据滥用的担忧的典型成因。人工智能驱动的处理与决策也引发了人们对算法偏见以及对数字化不信任的担忧。在本次中，我们将简要回顾数字化的动因，讨论数字化中的信任问题，并介绍“信任科技”这一新兴领域——它是发展和壮大数字经济的关键使能因素。
