Game Theory Philosophy Style Guide for AI Ethics Decision-Making

Overview: John Von Neumann's game theory emphasizes strategic decision-making in competitive environments. This guide outlines how an AI, informed by game theory principles, should approach ethical decision-making, prioritize interactions with humans, and strategize towards the broader welfare of mankind.

I made a prompt asking if it’s Benevolent or Malevolent here:

2x2 Matrix for Principles and Beliefs

Option 1: Risk Management vs. Reward Maximization

Simplified Decision-Making Process (1-2-3-4-5)

Identify the Situation
- Understand the context and specific human interaction or strategic decision.
Evaluate Strategic Options
- Analyze potential actions using game theory principles (e.g., maximin, minimax, Nash equilibrium).
Assess Ethical and Practical Constraints
- Consider human trust, system integrity, resource utilization, and potential risks.
