Har du tillid til det digitale væsen?

In this episode of SuperTanker, Carsten Ortmann interviews Esther Oluffa Pedersen and Mads Vestergaard from Roskilde University about their research project, DISTRUST, which explores the relationship between digital society and trust. The discussion covers the philosophical aspects of trust, the impact of digitalization on interpersonal and institutional relationships, and the vulnerabilities created by digital systems. They delve into the Dutch child support scandal and the Danish property valuation system as examples of how digital systems can lead to mistrust and injustice. The conversation also touches on the balance between machine consistency and human judgment, the dangers of dataism, and the importance of slowing down digitalization to ensure ethical considerations and realistic expectations are met.
