Can AI Lie? – How Manipulative Are Chatbots?
MCML Junior Research Group Leader Benjamin Lange was featured on the Bayerischer Rundfunk podcast IQ – Wissenschaft und Forschung in the episode “Kann KI lügen? – So manipulativ sind Chatbots.”
In the discussion, he addresses whether AI systems can intentionally deceive or merely produce false information due to technical limitations. He explains how so-called “hallucinations” in chatbots occur and clarifies common misconceptions about AI “lying.”
The episode also explores potential risks of manipulative AI systems and reflects on how society, research, and policymakers should respond to these challenges.
