Beyond the algorithm: rethinking the network account of trustworthy ai through lexical threshold-based multidimensional utility analysis.
Article in AI & society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In this paper, we present an overview of the main conceptual framework for trustworthy AI and argue that the network account offers a superior alternative. We identify and illustrate the possible nodes within an AI network, specify the key attributes each node should possess, and clarify what constitutes a sufficient threshold for each attribute. Building on this foundation, we introduce a novel framework for the network account of trustworthy AI: Lexical Threshold-Based Multidimensional Utility Theory (LTMU). This framework lexically ranks trust-relevant attributes, establishes minimum thresholds for each and assesses each attribute with a distinct utility scale. We then demonstrate how the LTMU framework can be applied to analyse two exceptional cases in which trust-relevant attributes come into conflict in different ways, arguing that its application yields reasonable and defensible outcomes in both scenarios.
