AI Isn't Good at Detecting Liars through Their Facial Expressions

Technologies are increasingly being used to shape public policy, business, and people's lives. AI court judges are helping to decide criminal's sentences and AI is being used to catch murder suspects and even shape your insurance policy. That's why the fact that computers aren't great at detecting lies should be a worry. Researchers from the USC Institute for Creative Technologies recently put AI's capability for lie detection to the test, and the test results left a lot to be desired. The USC Institute for Creative Technologies research team recently tested algorithms using basic tests for truth detectors and found that the AIs failed these tests.
