Part 10/14:
Envision a world where AI agents are embedded everywhere—on your phone, in your car, in your home appliances—each capable of autonomous decision-making. While beneficial, this creates complex trust issues akin to the Byzantine generals problem: how do we coordinate among autonomous, potentially untrustworthy agents?
System-level solutions, such as reputation management and blockchain-based verification, are key to establishing a Nash equilibrium—a state where misbehavior is penalized, and good behavior rewarded, thus incentivizing alignment with human values and safety standards.
