Relativistic Conceptions of Trustworthiness - Implications for National Identity Systems

Explore relativistic conceptions of trustworthiness and their implications for national identity systems in this 20-minute talk by Paul Smart, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southampton. Delve into the absolutist view of trustworthiness and its applicability to national identity systems, challenging prevailing theoretical literature. Examine how these systems can potentially function in alignment with an absolutist perspective on trustworthiness. Gain insights into the broader context of digital identity innovations, their impact on transparency, fairness, and governance, and the role of trustworthy data systems in fields such as healthcare, national security, finance, and criminal justice. Consider the importance of trust as a systemic imperative in identity systems and the ongoing research efforts at the Alan Turing Institute to advance trustworthy digital infrastructure for identity systems.
