With the development of killer drones, it seems like everyone is worrying about killer robots. Now, as if that wasn't bad enough, we need to start worrying about lying, cheating robots as well.
In an experiment run at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems in the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne, France, robots that were designed to cooperate in searching out a beneficial resource and avoiding a poisonous one learned to lie to each other in an attempt to hoard the resource. Picture a robo-Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

NORMAN: But there was no explosion.
MUDD: I lied.
NORMAN: What?
KIRK: He lied. Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Remember that. Everything Harry tells you is a lie.
MUDD: Listen to this carefully, Norman. I am lying.
NORMAN: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie. You lie. You tell the truth. But you cannot for. Illogical! Illogical! Please explain. (Smoke comes out of Norman's head.)
NORMAN: You are human. Only humans can explain their behaviour. Please explain.
KIRK: I am not programmed to respond in that area.

Picture a robo-Treasure of the Sierra Madre.So, this experiment in teaching *robots* to lie to one another was done in France, where duplicity is an art form of ancient standing? Why am I *not* surprised?

Creepy. What could be more human than lying?

Just a moment...just a moment...I've just picked up a fault in the AE-35 unit. It's going to go a hundred percent failure within 72 hours.

The robots have learned how to lie? So does this mean soon congress will be dominated by Robots?
I mean Sen. Kerry has been an interesting test case...

Program could be written to assign a specific substance a numerical value. When enough of this resource was collected, i.e. the numerical value was high, the program could tell Robot to quit cooperating with other robots.
I don’t know about you, but I think machines behave in the ways we ‘tell’ or program them to do it.
Certainly, things can be added to databases relationally or sequentially by the robots themselves and values and logic trees assigned to them, but at the heart of it, it’s still machine.
AI is more an exercise in clever programming than proof of artificial consciousness, IMO.

We will know that machines have 'artificial consciousness' when we find them rejecting clever programming.

"Evolving Robots Learn To Lie To Each Other" They're turning into Democrats!
To: spyone
Here's some examples of robots doing just that;
Bender: “Ah, yes! John Quincy Adding Machine. He struck a chord with the voters when he pledged not to go on a killing spree.”
Professor Farnsworth: “But, like most politicians, he promised more than he could deliver.”
Bender: “You guys go on without me! I'm going to go... look for more stuff to steal!”
Fry: “You're going back for the Countess, aren't you?”
Bender: “Oh, all right, I am. But if anything happens to me, tell them I died robbing some old man.”
Fry: “I'll tell them you went down prying the wedding ring off his cold, dead finger.”
Bender: “I love you, buddy!”
Bender: “Isn't it true that you have been paid for your testimony?”
Pramala: “Yes. You gave me a dollar and some candy.”
Bender: “And yet you haven't said what I told you to say! How can any of us trust you?”
Bender: “I'm very generous. What about that time I gave blood?”
Fry: “Whose blood?”
Bender: “Eh, some guy's.”
