<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial">There
is no dominant theory of deception. The literature on deception treats
different aspects and components of deception separately, sometimes
offering contradictory
evidence and opinions on these components. Emerging AI techniques offer
an exciting and novel opportunity to expand our understanding of
deception from a computational perspective. However, the design,
modelling and engineering of deceptive machines is not
trivial from either conceptual, engineering, scientific, or ethical
perspectives. The aim of DeceptECAI is to bring together people from
academia, industry and policy-making in order to discuss and disseminate
the current and future threats, risks, and even
benefits of designing deceptive AI. The workshop proposes a
multidisciplinary approach (Computer Science, Psychology, Sociology,
Philosophy & Ethics, Military Studies, Law etc.) to discuss the
following aspects of deceptive AI:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><strong>1) Behaviour</strong><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial">
- What type of machine behaviour should be considered deceptive? How do
we study deceptive behaviour in machines as opposed to humans?</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><strong>2) Reasoning</strong><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial">
- What kind of reasoning mechanisms lie behind deceptive behaviour?
Also, what type of reasoning mechanisms are more prone to deception?</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><strong>3) Cognition</strong><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial">
- How does cognition affect deception and how does deception affect
cognition? Also, what function, if any, do agent cognitive architectures
play in deception?</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><strong>4) AI & Society</strong><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial">
- How does the ability of machines to deceive influence society? What
kinds of measures do we need to take in order to neutralise
or mitigate the negative effects of deceptive AI?</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><strong>5) Engineering Principles</strong><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial">
- How should we engineer autonomous agents such that we are able to
know why and when they deceive? Also, why should or shouldn’t
we engineer or model deceptive machines?</span></p>
