How AI is Being Used to Spot Lies and False Declarations

Following up on our review of the changes brought by AI in the field of justice (see for example the post ‘How Predictive Justice Software Starts Being Used‘), this interesting Quartz post ‘Police are using artificial intelligence to spot written lies‘ addresses how AI can detect fake statements for insurance or police.

Certain patterns can certainly be identified to assess the probability for a statement to be untrue, but the immediate question if of course up to what level this may be used. Is this only to prioritize those declarations that would warrant further investigation, or would that lead to a straight rejection?

One can also expect in the near future to see a whole new industry of AI statement coaches to emerge, with coaches and counter-AI programs being made available to check the veracity level and modify the initial statement to make them appear more credible… The interesting part here is that we are increasingly moving into a world of conformity, because AI will instantaneously detect anything that comes out of the ordinary.
