abstract = "The realm of knowledge production, once considered a
solely human endeavour, has transformed with the rising
prominence of artificial intelligence. AI not only
generates new forms of knowledge but also plays a
substantial role in scientific discovery. This
development raises a fundamental question: can we trust
knowledge generated by AI systems? Cognitive modelling,
a field at the intersection between psychology and
computer science that aims to comprehend human
behaviour under various experimental conditions,
underscores the importance of trust. To address this
concern, we identified understandability and
computational reliabilism as two essential aspects of
trustworthiness in cognitive modelling. This paper
delves into both dimensions of trust, taking as case
study a system for semi-automatically generating
cognitive models. These models evolved interactively as
computer programs using genetic programming. The
selection of genetic programming, coupled with
simplification algorithms, aims to create
understandable cognitive models. To discuss
reliability, we adopted computational reliabilism and
demonstrate how our test-driven software development
methodology instils reliability in the model generation
process and the models themselves.",
