The students in this course examine the workings of, and uses of, trust in a variety of settings, including person to person, person to computer (AI or otherwise) and computer to computer. As such, they would benefit from a wide variety of projects that stretch them and allow them to show their understanding of how trust, trust management and trust systems can help companies succeed in entirely novel contexts. Projects can include market research, social development, website and interface development, blockchain applications and civic engagement and democracy applications and research.

There is a potential to deliver code - the students who take this course are generally proficient in many different coding styles and languages. There is also the potential to carry out in-depth research, both from an academic point of view and from a marketing point of view, with deliverables of research reports and associated presentations.
