    Biography:  Dr. Matthew Kane

    Dr. Matthew Kane is founder CEO of Prodigy Intelligence, a Counter-Intelligence training and consulting firm, offering its internally developed AI engine Coyote, since 2022.

    A cutting-edge human deception detection system, Coyote has been designed to revolutionize the field of honesty-verification. Coyote represents a ground-breaking advancement in the field, capable of analyzing text documents, audio recordings, and video footage of human subjects to profile human expression for patterns indicating deceit.

    Matt also presently lectures on Intelligence at the University of British Columbia (UBC), on strength of his PhD in Experimental Psychology and his deep practitioner experience as a field Officer with the Canadian Forces Intelligence Branch. During his service years in high-stakes tactical environments overseas, Matt developed a keen interest in the nuanced art of analyzing non-verbal behavioral data. From his first engagement with early military Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in 2009, Matt quickly recognized the transformative potential the emerging AI field held for discerning truth from deception. Matt’s work bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical data-driven digital technology, revealing the untapped strategic value in data-capture of subjects’ non-verbal cues associated with deception, positioning him as a leading expert in specialized psychometrics.
