Accurate Algorithm Detecting Deception at 92% Efficiency
In a recent development, scientists at the Nizhny Novgorod campus of the Higher School of Economics in Russia have created a unique lie detection algorithm. Anna Khomenko, a scientific employee of the Language and Brain Center, reported the development to TASS. The algorithm, which boasts an accuracy of 92% in identifying lies, uses Artificial Intelligence and targets multiple levels of communication, including the richness of speech, pauses, details, lexicon, facial expressions, and gestures.
However, it's important to note that there is currently no publicly available verified evidence or authoritative assessment demonstrating the effectiveness of any Russian AI-based lie detection system that analyses tone, facial expressions, and gestures for identifying deception.
Recent search results primarily focus on the use of AI in cybercrime, disinformation warfare, translation, and fraud activities involving Russian-speaking criminals. These sources highlight AI's role in automated translation, digital identity creation for fraud, disinformation campaigns, and evasion of security detection, but do not address lie detection technology specifically.
In a separate incident, a group of children in Yakutia, Russia, escaped from a kindergarten during nap time and were found walking along a road with stray dogs. The children were not wearing appropriate clothing. This event is unrelated to the development of the lie detection algorithm in Russia.
It's crucial to distinguish between these two distinct events and emphasise that no reliable data or performance metrics exist in open sources to assess how "Russian AI-based lie detection systems" perform on tone, facial expressions, or gesture analysis.
As such, an assessment of such technology would require access to classified, proprietary, or government sources not covered in publicly available reports as of mid-2025.
The unique lie detection algorithm developed by scientists at the Nizhny Novgorod campus of the Higher School of Economics in Russia utilizes artificial intelligence, targeting various aspects of communication. Despite the claims about its accuracy, there is limited evidence or authoritative assessment demonstrating the effectiveness of any Russian AI-based lie detection system in analyzing tone, facial expressions, and gestures.
To evaluate the performance of Russian AI-based lie detection systems, access to classified, proprietary, or government sources not covered in publicly available reports as of mid-2025 would be necessary.
