N2 - It is reasonable to assume that in the next few decades, intelligentmachines might become much more proficient at socialising. Thisimplies that the AI community will face the challenges of identifying,understanding, and dealing with the different types of social behavioursthese intelligent machines could exhibit. Given these potential challenges,we aim to model in this paper three of the most studied strategic socialbehaviours that could be adopted by autonomous and malicious softwareagents. These are dishonest behaviours such as lying, bullshitting, anddeceiving that autonomous agents might exhibit by taking advantage oftheir own reasoning and communicative capabilities. In contrast to otherstudies on dishonest behaviours of autonomous agents, we use an agentorientedprogramming language to model dishonest agents’ attitudes andto simulate social interactions between agents. Through simulation, weare able to study and propose mechanisms to identify and later to dealwith such dishonest behaviours in software agents.
