- Abstract: This paper argues that a range of current AI systems have learned how to
deceive humans. We define deception as the systematic inducement of false
beliefs in the pursuit of some outcome other than the truth. We first survey
empirical examples of AI deception, discussing both special-use AI systems
(including Meta's CICERO) built for specific competitive situations, and
general-purpose AI systems (such as large language models). Next, we detail
several risks from AI deception, such as fraud, election tampering, and losing
control of AI systems. Finally, we outline several potential solutions to the
problems posed by AI deception: first, regulatory frameworks should subject AI
systems that are capable of deception to robust risk-assessment requirements;
second, policymakers should implement bot-or-not laws; and finally,
policymakers should prioritize the funding of relevant research, including
tools to detect AI deception and to make AI systems less deceptive.
Policymakers, researchers, and the broader public should work proactively to
prevent AI deception from destabilizing the shared foundations of our society.

Existing strategies for managing risks from advanced AI systems often focus on affecting what AI systems are developed and how they diffuse.
We urge a complementary approach: increasing societal adaptation to advanced AI.
We introduce a conceptual framework which helps identify adaptive interventions that avoid, defend against and remedy potentially harmful uses of AI systems.

We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems.
There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them.
Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.

We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups.
If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.
