Dr. Cameron Jones

Dr. Cameron Jones is a postdoctoral scholar at the Cognitive Science department at UC San Diego investigating the risks that LLMs and AI technologies pose through persuasion and deception. He completed his PhD in Cognitive Science, where his dissertation work established that LLM achieve parity with humans at social cognition tasks and that people cannot distinguish between humans and LLMs in a Turing test. His current research focuses on how capabilities advancements could lead to a rapid increase in risks from persuasive and deceptive AI through reinforcement learning, agent architectures, and developing trust and rapport through social relationships.
