“I Don’t Know Where He is Not”: Does Deception Research yet Offer a Basis for Deception Detectives?

چکیده
Suppose we wanted to create an intelligent machine that somehow drew its intelligence from large collections of text, possibly involving the processing of collections available on the Web such as Wikipedia. Does past research in deception offer a sufficiently robust basis upon which we might develop a means to filter out texts that are deceptive, either partially or entirely? Could we identify, for example, any deliberately deceptive edits to Wikipedia without consulting the edit history? In this paper, we offer a critical review of deception research. We suggest that there are a range of inconsistencies, contradictions, and other difficulties in recent deception research, and identify how we might begin to address deception research in a more systematic manner.

Here I counter his criticisms--firstly, by clarifying the terminology: What counts as a lie? Secondly, by exploring further what makes lying wrong. Bakhurst maintains that lying is wrong in that it infringes autonomy--and other deceiving stratagems, he s...

In this paper, we develop a game-theoretic model for whether and what a defender should disclose about her resource allocation in the homeland-security context. Our model allows us to explore whether the defender should disclose correct information about her defensive resource allocation (truthful disclosure), incorrect information (deception), or no information (secrecy). In the case where onl...
متن کاملOn the “Tension” Inherent in Self-Deception
Alfred Mele’s deflationary account of self-deception has frequently been criticised for being unable to explain the ‘‘tension’’ inherent in self-deception. These critics maintain that rival theories can better account for this tension, such as theories which suppose self-deceivers to have contradictory beliefs. However, there are two ways in which the tension idea has been understood. In this a...
