The question is.......can AI lie?
A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving or misleading someone. What constitutes a lies become interesting as there are many different versions of the truth and therefore potentially many different lies on the same subject matter.
Take just one area eg religious teachings about God and its various followers, and just the differences in emphasis between common faiths eg Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, within Islam between Sunni and Shite sects, differences of truth that has lead to global conflicts that have existed in some cases for millennia as a result of opposing versions of often the same truth.
Yet an atheist fundamentally does not believe in a deity / God.........how will AI balance those versions of the truth/lies when faced with different audiences with different beliefs.
Even simple historical facts will have different and conflicting versions of the truth according to who is telling the tale.
So its a more simple question for me, is how does AI differentiate between the many version of the truth and a lie which may arise from the various interested groups interpretation of an event and therefore AI even recognise the truth , so to be in a position should A1 so choose to condition it's response with a lie..........what belief system and values will AI have.
