AI Trust Reshaping Administrative Burdens: Understanding Trust-Burden Dynamics in LLM-Assisted Benefits Systems
This analysis explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can redefine administrative burdens in public benefits systems, focusing on the critical role of trust. Our research reveals that while LLMs can alleviate traditional burdens, they introduce new psychological, learning, and compliance costs, which are profoundly shaped by user trust in AI's competence, integrity, and benevolence.

Psychological Costs
Learning Costs
Compliance Costs
AI systems can create a psychologically safer space by removing social friction, but also introduce new psychological burdens related to perceived loss of human advocacy and fears of strict rule interpretation.
LLMs can simplify complex information and policies, but also introduce new learning requirements around data privacy, security protocols, and understanding AI's interpretation methods.
LLMs can streamline access and reduce wait times, but may introduce verification burdens if trust in AI's competence or integrity is low, requiring users to double-check information.

Bridging the Gap: Trust in AI for Public Services
The study highlights that while LLMs offer potential to reduce administrative burdens like learning and compliance costs, they simultaneously introduce new psychological burdens related to trust. For instance, concerns about AI's benevolence (strict rule interpretation) and integrity (ethical decision-making) create new anxieties. Users often form preferences for human vs. AI interaction based on beliefs rather than objective performance data. This underscores the need for evidence-based transparency in AI system capabilities and limitations, and a focus on empathy-first LLM design to mitigate psychological costs associated with the perceived loss of human accompaniment.
- Trust (competence, integrity, benevolence) mediates how users experience administrative burdens with LLMs.
- LLMs can reduce traditional burdens but introduce new trust-related psychological, learning, and compliance costs.
- Design should aim for appropriate user trust, preventing over-trust and under-trust.
- Transparency of AI capabilities and limitations is crucial for informed user choice.
