universities.

It might be a question of putting the parts together; the minimal components
would probably be the false belief task (the representation that others may believe
something that is false, which has been demonstrated non-verbally in I Smonth
olds) with basic verbal ability and autonomous goal-seeking behavior. Each one
has been done already, but that does not mean that the resulting system is
generally intelligent. It merely learns how to deceive (ie necessary but not
sufficient).
Ron Arkin from Georgia Tech (who is mostly known for discussing the ethics of
military robots) has also built a bunch of simple robots that compete for limited
resources and develop deceptive behavior to gain an advantage.
The literally-minded Turing Test people that crowd around the Loebner prize for most
human-like behavior are probably not in the game for deceptive behavior, though.
Their systems are usually not intentional, i.e. they would fake their fakery, using
cleverly pre-scripted dialog strategies.
I would probably start from the other direction, i.e. the premise that deceptive behavior is
an emergent quality of any system that has the explicit goal of changing the beliefs
of others to further its own aims. The idea that the induced beliefs are factually
correct would need to be added on top of that. As soon as a system switches from
signalling of internal states towards true communication (the goal-directed
creation of beliefs in others), we will have deceptive systems.
Most AI research apparently ignores this, because they start out with applications that
benefit from total cooperation (all agents have compatible goals, like cars that
should not bump into each other, robotic ants that transmit their respective states,
soccer playing robots that broadcast their positions among team mates).

I have seen many proposals that would like to atttain 2 and three year
old level intelligence„ I have never seen as a kind of perverted turing
test suggesting that the system should lie. ( a characteristic of real
world 2 year olds)
