Cover Story: In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common, it is essential to understand how people accept and trust these systems. This systematic review identifies and analyses the quantitative methods used to measure trust in AI. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we reviewed 1283 articles from three databases, ultimately selecting 45 empirical studies published before December 2023. Through the lenses of cognitive and affective trust, we analysed trust definitions and measurements, types of AI systems, and related variables. We found that definitions and measurements of trust vary considerably. Still, studies show consistency in their elements (theoretical focus, experimental design, and the level of human-like characteristics of AI) in emphasising more the cognitive or affective side of trust. View this paper
