Master Thesis Nr 5: Establishing Trust in AI Through a Practical Framework
With AI now closely connected to our daily work, new questions arise regarding whether a solution is trustworthy and the consequences of launching a solution where the users lose trust in the data and its output. In a mix of AI-powered and deterministic solutions, what is the risk of losing the user’s trust? As AI becomes increasingly integrated into human cognitive processes, unverified or untrustworthy information/ hallucinations may become embedded within our epistemic practices, potentially leading to cognitive dependency and skill degradation.
This master’s thesis aims to design and validate a framework for evaluating the trustworthiness of AI-powered solutions. The framework should provide an automated evaluation mechanism that establishes measurable benchmarks for data quality, model behavior, and answer quality. An initial approach is to create a large, representative evaluation set containing thousands of relevant questions, expected answers or acceptance criteria, known edge cases, and deliberately misleading inputs. The solution can then be evaluated repeatedly as the data, prompts, models, or system design change.
The framework could evaluate an AI solution across the following dimensions:
A useful outcome of the thesis would therefore be a practical evaluation framework, benchmark design method, automated test harness, scoring model, and governance recommendations that organizations can apply throughout the lifecycle of an AI-powered solution.
In our team, we are building valuable AI-powered solutions for our internal users. We stay at the forefront of emerging technologies by exploring and applying agentic AI approaches, Graph RAG applications, knowledge engineering, ontologies, knowledge orchestrators, and other advanced capabilities.
We look forward to receiving your application with your resumé and hearing your ideas on how you would approach this subject!
