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.

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.

Learn to lie with body language.

'Tenting' your fingers during a job interview can get you more money. It's supposed to show 'true confidence and competence'.

Lean forward whenever an interviewer is really boring the fuck out of you. It's supposed to show you are 'engaged and interested'.

Remember there are no 'right answers' to personality assessment tests...unless you want the job. Then you want to score high on conscientiousness, openness to experience and agreeableness, low on neuroticism, right in the middle on extroversion (unless a marketer, than high on extroversion).

Maintain an internal happy chant...'I've got a secret and you won't catch me, la la la lala, I've got a secret...'
