Abstract
The article examines the function of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems as one of the key instruments forming the foundation of digital trust. According to the author, the goal of building digital trust is to establish conditions that improve the effectiveness of social governance. These include measures for monitoring the state of society as an object of governance, shaping the desired worldview of individuals, creating mechanisms for resolving conflicts of various natures. The study defines requirements for a model of social governance at the strategic level. This model should operate with a limited number of factors and the relationships between them and be visual, suitable for high-quality subjective analysis by decision makers. Based on this, the key objectives of digital trust are to manipulate the societal behavior, shape worldviews, and develop controllable individuals. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of generative AI technologies in addressing these issues, as these systems are designed to produce information objects of different nature with simulated meaning.
