Experimental AI Lie Detector Will Help Screen EU Travelers (engadget.com)
SeriousSamy shares a report from Engadget: In the future, you might talk to an AI to cross borders in the European Union. The EU and Hungary's National Police will run a six-month pilot project, iBorderCtrl, that will help screen travelers in Hungary, Greece and Latvia. The system will have you upload photos of your passport, visa and proof of funds, and then use a webcam to answer basic questions from a personalized AI border agent. The virtual officer will use AI to detect the facial microexpressions that can reveal when someone is lying. At the border, human agents will use that info to determine what to do next -- if there are signs of lying or a photo mismatch, they'll perform a more stringent check.
Do you want war? That's how you get war! Read the books to the end before you think "hey that tech sounds cool I'm going to build that".
This works because people believe in lie detectors, so they'll give themselves away.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
Oh, a Voight-Kampff test. I can't possibly see any downsides to this...
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
"Let me see your identification."
"These aren't the droids we're looking for."
"You can go about your business."
"Move along... move along."
Every person who has taken Psychology 101 is aware that lie-detectors are useless -- I cringe when congress people call for those things to be used as they should know better -- the only benefit is if the person giving the test is watching for certain body language giveaways (it's entertaining to watch some of the people that are aware of body language signals displaying truth as they will enter into a strange feedback loop when they are asked questions)
Nothing like being sent to secondary screening with the presumption you have done something bad. Humans don't handle part two under these circumstances any better than I believe robots will handle part 1.

This will be recorded for quality assurance purposes.
Becomes a mental truth. Some of us can easily make up and believe our own lies. This will be pretty easily fooled. And pretty easily false flag an innocent.

Have you committed a thoughtcrime, or expressed an opinion that would not qualify as being approved by the EU, since your last mandatory screening?
Have you ever shared, created, or even willingly viewed an illegal meme that is not already part of your permanent criminal record?
Have you ever attempted to avoid, tamper with, or disable, any or all monitoring systems present in any personal electronic device, public space, or area designated for personal hygiene?

So this is probably not the best image to project to the "virtual agent" when attempting a border crossing.

errr....umm...*whooosh* *whoosh* Is this thing on ?
it wants you to upload photos? over the internet? is that safe? what if someone fakes AI's FTP server and ends up getting those photos instead? you'd think Mr. AI, at the airport, would have a camera ... a pair of high speed ultra high definition high dynamic range ones, even.
I wonder if it will accept Monopoly money.
I wonder if it will accept bribes.
now we need to go OSS in diesel cars
You should really charge Donald rent for that space he occupies in your head. Clearly you don't have any to spare.

Can you say "Bogus"? I knew you could.
It's just your basic Voight-Kampff machine.
Quite close, but note - this is not "Europe", this is the communists from EU doing it (forcing fake-refugee migrants). Fuck the EU.

Time to create a virtual person on my e-tablet, that looks like me, for the customs interrogation.
This is being implemented in Hungary, a very anti-immigrant (and racist!) country. It's clearly designed to select people with dark pigmentation as "needing additional screening"
Your ad here. Ask me how!
Somebody will create an AI using my image to answer the questions, without the indicators that I may be lying.
Wow. Do you also believe Goldman Sachs are communists?
With their "created" fake documents.
With shared documents.
Using another persons story to create documents to travel with.
People who have supported banned groups.
Who have applied for "protection" many times under different names and with different "stories" each time.
Criminals trying to gain a new clean ID as a person with another ID?
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
Yeah, that happened. Look quickly, before it goes away again! You need to be an AI at this point to get a glimpse of the idea. At least they don't shoot you at border anymore. At least not very often.
Goldman Sachs are the Rothschild's, so they support communism.
Magiares are not racist.
They do not like the new socialist-communist European Union.
They like Nation States of Europe.
And what language will, the AI bot talk? And will it understand what and how it was answered?
Even google translate gives lots and lots of gibberish. Try translate something in some regional talk, not straight English but welsh. Or German but in Bavarian or Frisian languages?
You'll catch cheaters but the sociopaths and psychopaths will beat this easily and those are the ones that you need to catch.
Will there be a trapdoor under your feet too?
Skilled liars engage in an excess of trust building behaviour in expressions of speech and nonverbal communication. These convince most people but not those trained as human lie detectors.
Voice stress analysis is applied extensively by UK insurance companies for claims management and used to focus anti-fraud investigations.
Every time I go through US immigration border control, I wish we had something similar instead here in the EU instead of just waving everyone through. (There's some "nice" stories about certain flight routes from African countries where there are virtually no check)
Look at the ESTA form that is part of the US Visa Waiver program. They even want a list of all your social media accounts. Last time I applied, it was still optional, but I bet it is only a matter of time. Of course there is a worry what they think of people who doesn't use Facebook or Twitter.

This, like all other methods based on behavioural observations and physiological reactions, will NOT work on psychopaths, which is arguably the demographic you should worry the most about. Psychopaths don't reflect their emotional state on their behaviour or on their body reactions. They don't sweat, their heart rate doesn't increase, when confronted with their lies, or while lying - even if they're lying their ass off.
