Artificial Intelligence: Detecting Intention and Deception
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to enhance our problem-solving ability in areas such as cybersecurity, energy costs, healthcare, and more. An area of Professor Eugene Santos' research explores AI's predictability on human factors such as decision making, goals, reward structures, and deception. To better understand this AI needs intentions as intent drives behavior and decision-making.
Join Professor Santos for a virtual journey exploring AI and its intricacies. Can computers identify intent? Should AI be allowed to deceive? Who would you allow to command a war: a toddler or AI? How can 'computational intent' provide AI the guardrails it needs? Because without them AI, can “happily” be “weird,” which at best is funny, but at worst disastrous.
