Bots, Androids and Academia: A Tail of Fraud Detection
By Hugo Seguin
Experience level: Novice

What happens when malicious actors try to game an academic research study? Hugo Seguin shares his experience with fraud attempts in his research: what happened, how he and his team responded, and how they decided what to fix and what to change. He also reflects on how the behavioral sciences are handling these kinds of cyber threats, and how technologists and technology companies can help protect research from deceptive actors and raise awareness of common pitfalls in academia.
