The psychology of perceiving artificial people. Artificial intelligence is creating highly realistic people that deceive humans. This project aims to advance psychology theory by investigating how the human social cognition system, shaped by evolution, adapts to the novel challenge of detecting AI people. By leveraging foundational theory and rigorous methods, the project expects to uncover new insights into human person perception and develop best practice for AI detection through combining human and machine strategies. Expected outcomes include the first psychometrically valid tests for AI person detection and capabilities to identify human experts and improve AI detection. This should provide significant benefits such as fraud prevention, strengthening Australia’s national security.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 5204 - Cognitive and Computational Psychology.
