The ways we talk about technology often emphasise the need for trust, whether it is to justify expansion of existing technologies or to back up regulation.

Discussing the political understandings of trust and mistrust in the context of data, AI and technology at large, this book defines a process of 'trustification' used by governments, corporations, researchers and the media to legitimise exploitation and the increasing of inequalities.

Aimed at social scientists, computer scientists and those working in public policy, the book aptly reveals how trust is operationalised and converted into a metric to be reached to extract legitimacy from populations in order to support the furthering of technology to manage society.
