Abstract
Trust is an expected certainty in order to transact confidently. However, how accurate is our decision-making in human-machine interaction? In this chapter we present evidence from experimental conditions in which human interrogators used their judgement of what constitutes a satisfactory response trusting a hidden interlocutor was human when it was actually a machine. A simultaneous comparison Turing test is presented with conversation between a human judge and two hidden entities during Turing100 at Bletchley Park, UK. Results of post-test conversational analysis by the audience at Turing Education Day show more than 30% made the same identification errors as the Turing test judge. Trust is found to be misplaced in subjective certainty that could lead to susceptibility to deception in cyberspace.

Emotion in the Turing Test: A Downward Trend for Machines in Recent Loebner Prizes
A thought experiment devised by 20th century British mathematician Alan Turing in which a human interrogator must distinguish between two unseen and unheard entities during text-based conversation. If in man/woman imitation scenario, an interrogator must identify both correctly; if in a machine/human game, the interrogator must decide which is artificial from natural dialogue.
