The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence systems across safety-critical domains has exposed fundamental
limitations in existing decision-making methodologies. Current multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches operate
under static assumptions, trust-aware architectures lack formal mathematical grounding, and adaptive mechanisms fail to
unify both dimensions within a coherent framework. This paper introduces the Adaptive Trust-Aware Multi-Criteria Decision
Method (ATMCDM), a novel conceptual framework and mathematical model designed to address these interrelated
deficiencies. ATMCDM unifies trust calibration, dynamic weight adaptation, and multi-criteria optimization within a single
mathematically rigorous architecture. The proposed methodology introduces six formal constructs: a multidimensional
state vector, a context-sensitive trust function, a knowledge accumulation function, an adaptive weight mechanism, a
composite decision function, and a dynamic reward-driven update rule. A corresponding algorithm is presented with
computational complexity analysis. Through critical comparison with existing MCDM methods, trust-aware models, and
adaptive decision algorithms, the paper demonstrates that ATMCDM overcomes the rigidity of conventional approaches
while providing theoretical guarantees for convergence and consistency.
