<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="color:black;font-size:12pt;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>

deceptive behaviour in machines as opposed to humans?</span></p>

type of reasoning mechanisms are more prone to deception?</span></p>

Also, what function, if any, do agent cognitive architectures play in deception?</span></p>
