Outline of Final Research Achievements

The goal of this study is to understand dishonest behaviors of humans and to realize them by artificial agents. The results of this study are as follows. (1) We built a logical theory of dishonesty such as lies and deception. We developed algorithms for dishonest reasoning by agents. (2) We characterized processes of learning dishonest behaviors using inductive logic programming. (3) We developed formal models of negotiation and argumentation among agents who may behave dishonestly. We argued the possibility of distinguishing dishonest agents from others. (4) We formulated conversational implicature in human dialogues and showed how speakers could use it for misleading hearers. (5) We performed experiments to examine the effect of self-interested agents in cooperative agent societies. We developed multiagent systems and observed the process of evolving self-interested agents in resource bounded environments. We investigated conditions to suppress the increase of self-interested agents.
