What Trustworthy Computing Means to Me

Trustworthy computing is not one property. It is a relationship between systems, evidence, people, and decisions.

For me, the phrase connects several interests: operating systems that can provide evidence, data systems that can represent quality and provenance, AI tools that can be governed responsibly, and interfaces that help people understand when to trust a result.

The common thread is accountability. A trustworthy system should not merely output an answer. It should help explain the conditions under which that answer should be believed.
