AI cooperation: Is there only one FairBot?

The concept of FairBot, a theoretical AI agent designed for cooperation in game theory scenarios, is explored through its mathematical definition. The FairBot's core logic, expressed in Peano arithmetic, ensures cooperation with any opponent by adhering to a specific theorem. This definition has appeared in multiple contexts, including work by Vladimir Slepnev and James Payor, leading to questions about the uniqueness of this cooperative AI strategy. AI

IMPACT Explores theoretical AI cooperation strategies, potentially informing future agent design.
