A researcher has demonstrated that two distinct fairness conditions for AI agents, "Löbian fairness" and "Payorian fairness," are mathematically equivalent. Initially proposed in the context of a proof-based prisoner's dilemma tournament using agents encoded in Peano arithmetic, the "FairBot" agent was analyzed under these two fairness criteria. The equivalence was proven through two methods: an elementary proof using provability logic and a more sophisticated proof adapted from existing theorems. This equivalence suggests that while the conditions are interchangeable in a system like Peano arithmetic, one might be a stricter condition in weaker logical systems. AI
