Episode 015 – Using Deception as a Social Engineer
Deception is very hard to understand. What if we could write an algorithm that would dissect deception allow us to delve in at a molecular level? This month’s podcast does that. We talk with a psychologist and research that has dedicated his life to defining and understanding deception. Release Date Nov 8 2010

Our guest today, Alan Wagner, research Engineer from Georgia Tech -he is called a Social Robotics Researcher
-
Alan Wagner, Doctor of Computer Science. He received a PhD from Georgia Tech in 2009, an M.S. from Boston University in Computer Science, and BA from Northwestern University in Psychology.
- What is deception?
- How is it used?
- How did you come up with an algorithm to define deception?
- How is this used and displayed in people? In robots?
- Whats next in this research?
Then he defined deception into four stages:
1. Determine if deception is warranted?
2. Find out what action is available to you as deceiver what is worst for you/best which one of your actions will cause them to take an action will benefit it
3. calculate how your action will affect the target (right questions)
a – create clusters of models of all people – stereotypes
b – develop a model of the person you want to deceive – information gathering
4. Take the action
Check out Alan’s website for more information about him.
