Travellers with harmful intentions may someday soon have their eyes give them away, thanks to new AI technology which detects and analyses involuntary eye movements. On the other hand, innocent travellers wrongly accused can be quickly exonerated.
Converus says its EyeDetect system is the first technology to successfully detect deception in 15 to 30 minutes by analysing involuntary eye behaviors, such as pupil dilation, eye movements and other features. Examinees simply sit in front of a computer and answer true/false questions.
The company says EyeDetect is currently 86 percent accurate and backed by nine peer-reviewed research studies. Its decision model uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to continually improve accuracy over time. It’s currently used by more than 500 customers in 40 countries worldwide to test potential and existing employees for involvement in serious crimes, drug use, sabotage, espionage, terrorism and other criminal and unethical behaviors.
“It’s time for the world to rethink the technologies used to enhance border and airport security,” said Converus CEO Todd Mickelsen. “This technology is already proven and ready now for implementation.”
Coverus says the technology is in use by over 500 federal agencies with its international customer base including Midas, Colombia’s air force, the Ministry of National Security of Jamaica, Experian, FedEx, McDonalds and Samsung.
