<p class="MsoNormal">We seek applications for a Research Fellow to join a project on the nature of deception between AI and humans. We are a team
<span style="background:white">of computer scientists, psychologists, and magicians who are collaborating to explore this topic. Our methodology is to formalize the techniques of deception used by stage conjurors (see </span><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/2464/the-psychology-of-magic-and-the-magic-of-psychology" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0076DE;letter-spacing:.15pt;background:white">Kuhn,
Olson & Raz, 2016</span></a><span style="background:white">) such that they can be built into the thinking processes of software agents, and to test the deceptive powers of these agents when playing computer games against humans (see </span><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00748/full" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0076DE;letter-spacing:.15pt;background:white">Smith,
Dignum & Sonenberg, 2016</span></a><span style="background:white">). The project will shed light on what it means for computers to intentionally deceive people, and provide insights into the capabilities of software agents to deploy advanced 'theory-of-mind'
reasoning in human-machine encounters.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The position is for 2 years, A$98,775 - A$117,290 (pro-rata for part-time) plus 9.5% superannuation, based in the
