Abstract

When is it okay to lie? And what constitutes a lie, anyway? This paper examines the notion of lying in agent-based systems, focusing on dialogues and situations where it is acceptable for agents to utter locutions that contradict their beliefs. We examine situations in human and animal behavior where lying - acting or making statements that contradict one's set of beliefs - is considered to be socially acceptable or even necessary for survival. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
