Over the past decade, there has been a growing concern about the accelerated erosion of trust, which could potentially lead to a fundamental crisis for networked societies. The Network Readiness Index 2023 seeks to provide insights into the resilience or decline of trust online by tracking trends in trust, identifying potential driving forces behind these changes, and proposing actionable recommendations for policy and practice.
By examining global issues and developments, such as the cognitive conflict surrounding geopolitical tensions and the advent of the AI age, this report draws attention to the potential for a serious crisis in public trust in the internet and related technologies in our increasingly interconnected world. Furthermore, we present examples and cases that highlight transformational technologies, regulations, and practices that could either support or undermine trust in the coming decade.
This blog series leading up to the global launch of the 2023 Network Readiness Index will explore the themes of trust in technology and the network society. New blogs will be released here each week. To browse all blogs, visit networkreadinessindex.org/.
