| Abstract: | This study aimed to understand how transparency of AI system outputs affects users trust in high-stake military scenarios. Participants were assigned randomly to one of two scenario pairings, each pair had one high transparency output and one low transparency one. Thus, this study used a mixed design and gathered both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative results showed trust was higher in the high transparency outputs compared to the low transparency ones. However, this effect was only found in one scenario pairing. Furthermore, qualitative analysis showed that participants often relied on their own reasoning and used the AI for support. The results show that trust in military AI systems is not only influenced by the level of transparency of its outputs. It is also influenced by how users interpret the context of the situation and what type of role they assign to the system (i.e., autonomous, or decision-making aid). |
