Trustworthy artificial intelligence and organisational trust: a scoping review using socio-technical systems analysis

Organisational trust enhances effectiveness, but its evaluation is often overlooked in real-world AI deployments. The relationship between trustworthy AI (TAI) and organisational trust is largely unexplored. This scoping review applies socio-technical systems analysis (STSA) to examine TAI mechanisms and their ability to build organisational trust, marking the first use of STSA in this context. A search of academic databases yielded 803 articles, with 54 included in the review. The findings show a lack of focus on the context, longitudinal aspects and organisational maturity in TAI implementation. While TAI guidelines aim to foster trust in specific technologies, successful implementation requires broader organisational maturity and active efforts to build, maintain and repair trust both within organisations and with the public.
