This Artificial Intelligence Kiosk Is Designed to Spot Liars at Airports

#artificialintelligence

From Alexa and self-driving cars to job applicant screening processes, artificial intelligence is fast becoming the norm in business. But it also could start playing far bigger roles in security, helping law enforcement and other protective agents figure out who's up to no good. As Fredrick Kunkle of The Washington Post reports, there's now an AI-based kiosk designed to detect whether travelers are fibbing. Designed by Aaron Elkins, assistant professor of the Fowler College of Business Administration at San Diego State University, the new AI lie detector goes by the name Automated Virtual Agent for Truth Assessments in Real Time, or AVATAR for short. Once you've scanned your ID or passport, the kiosk asks you a bunch of questions.
