“Human behaviors are a rich source of deception and trust cues,” said Xunyu Chen, assistant professor in the Department of Information Systems in VCU’s School of Business. “Utilizing [artificial intelligence methods], such as machine learning and deep learning, can better exploit these sources of information for decision-making.”
In one of the first papers that investigate high-stakes deception and trust quantitatively—”Trust and Deception with High Stakes: Evidence from the ‘Friend or Foe’ Dataset” appeared in a recent issue of Decision Support Systems—Chen and his team use a novel dataset derived from an American game show, “Friend or Foe?” which is based on the prisoner’s dilemma.
