A government initiative aims to assess human responses to deceptive AI through multiplayer games. The project, overseen by the AI Safety Institute, will explore how anthropomorphic AI can manipulate and persuade individuals. This research seeks to understand the potential harmful uses of advanced AI technologies in misinformation and fraud.
The project will involve various game formats, including teams split by demographics, to evaluate how players discern team members from AI. Following initial stages, the study will analyze data from both human-only and mixed human-AI games. The ultimate goal is to enhance understanding of AI's capabilities in deception while ensuring participant safety.
