There have been studies which have shown that people who have been trained in visual deception detection fared only slightly better at spotting a liar than those individuals who received no lie detecting training. This is not surprising
since the method usually used in these studies to detect deception was observing someone's body language. The weakness in this form of lie detection is that a nonverbal gesture does not always equate to deception.
My experience told me that someone trained in the methods which Deceptio.AI is based upon known as the Statement Analysis® techniques stood a much greater chance at identifying deception. To see if this was true, I put the Deceptio.AI proprietary Statement Analysis® techniques to the test.
The Study
I instructed 100 people to read ten statements and attempt to determine if the statements were true or false. Each statement consisted of 300 - 400 words. All of the statements described an incident such as being robbed, being carjacked or having their home or car broken into. The participants were not placed on any time restriction and were given as much time as needed to read the statements. The participants were not asked to explain why they felt a statement was true or false. Five of the statements were true and five of the statements were false. The participants were not aware of the true/false breakdown.
The Participants
All of the participants were over the age of 18. The majority of the participants were from the United States. Some of the participants were from other English speaking countries such as Canada, England and Australia. Fifty of the participants had completed Statement Analysis® training. The other fifty participants stated they had no training in analyzing statements for deception.
The Results
The study showed that those people who received training in the Statement Analysis® techniques could detect deception with 84% accuracy. Those individuals who had no training could only spot a liar 53% of the time. Here is the breakdown of how the participants scored.

The study shows that people who were instructed in Statement Analysis® techniques are far more likely (+31%) to determine if a person is being deceptive or telling the truth than those individuals who rely on their gut instinct. This is why Deceptio.AI exists today. With our advanced AI-driven deception detection you will be assured of the highest possible reliability to get to the truth.
Six of the trained participants scored 100% and eighteen other trained participants scored 90%. The reason the Statement Analysis® techniques are accurate is because people's words will betray them. DECEPTIO.AI factors in these components of statement analysis among thousands of nuances related to statement analysis.
If you have been trained, certified, and have successfully applied statement analysis techniques in the field for years you will know what to look for in a verbal or written statement and you can determine if the statement is true or false.
Deceptio.AI eliminates the training, certification, and years of real world field experience required to become an expert in the art of Statement Analysis® and will allow users to generate the same high level of success at deception detection helping them to make critical next step decisions.
Deceptio.AI was developed to provide the novice user with expert results based on my nearly 3 decades of experience as a US Secret Service Agent and US Deputy Marshal.
