Over the past several years, the public has overwhelmingly embraced artificial intelligence (AI). Many folks rely upon generative AI to put together images, write papers, and handle other tasks deemed as tedious and time-consuming.
With the use of AI comes a certain level of faith that the technology will do what it’s programmed to do. This generally requires responding to prompts entered by human users and otherwise following commands.
However, the ability to depend upon AI appropriately handling these tasks could become more shaky as time passes. According to researchers with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), artificial intelligence may become more adept and willing to mislead human beings.

So far, analyses into AI shows that with its rising sophistication comes its ability to lie to people. At this time, the technology has demonstrated efficiency in competing against individuals in board games, holding conversations, etc.
