Artificial Intelligence (AI) is able to perform at humans and even surpass human’s performances in some tasks. Recent cases about self-driving cars, cashier-free supermarket Amazon Go, and virtual assistants such as Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant have illustrated the current and future potential of AI. AI and its applications have infiltrated human’s work and daily life. It is inevitable that humans need to build a working relationship with AI and its applications. On one hand, humans can benefit from this new technology, for instance, a home robot can release housewife from mundane and monotonous tasks (Siau 2017, Siau 2018). On the other hand, the potential threats pose by AI and the possible social upheavals should not be overlooked. The fatal crash of self-driving cars, the data breach of famous websites, and the potential unemployment of cab and truck drivers are hindering human’s trust and acceptance of this new technology. A study conducted by HSBC shows that only 8% of the participants would trust a machine offering mortgage advice compared to 41% trusting a mortgage broker.
