<strong>Lie detection algorithms disrupt the social dynamics of accusation behavior</strong>

"_The aggregate results across treatments suggest the following conclusions: (1) in the absence of a lie-detection algorithm, people are reluctant to make accusations; (2) when the lie-detection algorithm is available, a minority of people want to obtain its prediction; (3) the minority that does almost always follows the algorithmic prediction, independent of whether the algorithm flags a statement as truth or lie; (4) individuals who actively request algorithmic predictions are not inherently more prone to make accusations, but follow accusation suggestions more than those who receive such predictions without actively seeking them; (5) those who would not actively request the algorithmic prediction do not change their behavior even when they passively receive one; (6) beliefs about the relative performance of the lie-detection algorithm correlate with adoption rates._"
