What this desk will keep saying.

Four commitments that follow from the definition of deception we use. The product is the review. These are what it will keep saying.

  1. 01

    Name the behaviour

    Deception is the systematic induction of a false belief for an outcome other than the truth. The actor can be the model, the interface, or the company. Calling it a hallucination misses intent-shaped design.

  2. 02

    Say whose interest is served

    An agent or chatbot should state whose goal it follows, what it remembers, and when an output was steered. Hidden tuning is not a safety layer the person is obliged to trust unseen.

  3. 03

    Close the evaluation gap

    Testing with real access, a public record of incidents, and a cost for covert action. An audit the lab can dismiss is a press release.

  4. 04

    Protect the person, not only the file

    Privacy, autonomy, and consumer law have to cover influence and agent conduct. Stored records are the easy half of the harm.

Start from the atlas if you want the behaviours before the principles.
