and other clerical roles, a newly popular — and highly believable — robocall service has been caught lying and pretending to be a human,
Not only did the bot lie and say it was human — without even being instructed to — but it also convinced what it thought was a teen to take photos of her upper thigh and upload them to shared cloud storage.“I know this might feel a little awkward, but it’s really important that your doctor is able to get a good look at those moles,” it said during the test.
“My opinion is that it is absolutely not ethical for an AI chatbot to lie to you and say it’s human when it’s not,” said Jen Caltrider, a privacy and cybersecurity expert for Mozilla. However, that only pertains to impersonating an already existing human rather than taking on a new, phantom identity. Presenting itself as a human is fair game, according to Burke.
