Telling the truth is not always helpful, and lying is not always harmful. In truth, everyone lies. We lie to help ourselves, and we lie to help others. We lie in both serious and inconsequential situations. Lying is a foundational part of how people interact with each other, and accepted members of society are successfully able to navigate the highly nuanced norms of social deception.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERobots and artificially intelligent systems are increasingly being placed within our societies, and in some contexts, they are expected to interact with humans socially. People must trust that robots are functionally competent to complete tasks while also being socially competent to understand social conventions that may favor particular strategies over others. If people often successfully choose lying to be the best policy in certain situations, it then follows that an intelligent agent, that is designed to learn from humans and exhibit social competency, may replicate expected lying behavior as it becomes fully integrated into social settings.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this thesis, I explore robots that lie to benefit others and how deception influences people\u2019s interactions and perceptions of robots. My work examines how managing expectations, the influence of agent design and presence, and the aftermath of deception shape human responses, while also exploring how people interact with autonomous deceptive agents over time.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWhat Happens When a Robot Lies to You? \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EInvestigating Aspects of Prosocial Intelligent Agent Deception Towards Humans\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"What Happens When a Robot Lies to You?
