Dear HART Technical Group members,
I hope you can join our next Member Conversation on Tuesday, March 25, at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET. Please bring/invite a guest, bring your questions, join the conversation, share your ideas, and enjoy the "lightning talk". We have another fascinating discussion topic and lightning talk planned. This month, our topic is robot deception. Andres Rosero will lead us off with a talk titled Human perceptions of social robot deception behaviors: an exploratory analysis.
Lightening Talk Abstract: Robots are being introduced into increasingly social environments. As these robots become more ingrained in social spaces, they will have to abide by the social norms that guide human interactions. At times, however, robots will violate norms and perhaps even deceive their human interaction partners. This study provides some of the first evidence for how people perceive and evaluate robot deception, especially three types of deception behaviors theorized in the technology ethics literature: External state deception (cues that intentionally misrepresent or omit details from the external world: e.g., lying), Hidden state deception (cues designed to conceal or obscure the presence of a capacity or internal state the robot possesses), and Superficial state deception (cues that suggest a robot has some capacity or internal state that it lacks).
Andres Rosero a fourth year Doctoral Candidate at George Mason University's Human Factors and Applied Cognitions department. I work in the ALPHAs lab under Dr. Elizabeth K. Phillips, applying psychological principles in the development of Human-Robot Interactions. My research has focused on examining how humans perceive robots and autonomous agents in complex and morally ambiguous situations. I hope to help in understanding how robots can be best employed in social spaces to maximize the potential for positive interactions with humans and promote positive human-machine team efforts.
