• Abstract summary: We study how different forms of AI influence the evolution of cooperation in a human population playing the one-shot Prisoner's Dilemma game. We found that Samaritan AI agents that help everyone unconditionally, including defectors, can promote higher levels of cooperation in humans than Discriminatory AIs.

• Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly embedded in our lives, their presence leads to interactions that shape our behaviour, decision-making, and social interactions. Existing theoretical research has primarily focused on human-to-human interactions, overlooking the unique dynamics triggered by the presence of AI. In this paper, resorting to methods from evolutionary game theory, we study how different forms of AI influence the evolution of cooperation in a human population playing the one-shot Prisoner's Dilemma game in both well-mixed and structured populations. We found that Samaritan AI agents that help everyone unconditionally, including defectors, can promote higher levels of cooperation in humans than Discriminatory AI that only help those considered worthy/cooperative, especially in slow-moving societies where change is viewed with caution or resistance (small intensities of selection). Intuitively, in fast-moving societies (high intensities of selection), Discriminatory AIs promote higher levels of cooperation than Samaritan AIs.

  AI systems need to be explainable to the humans in the loop. We will discuss how the AI agent can use mental models to either conform to human expectations, or change those expectations through explanatory communication. While the main focus of the book is on cooperative scenarios, we will point out how the same mental models can be used for obfuscation and deception.

• On the Perception of Difficulty: Differences between Humans and AI [0.0]
  Key challenge in the interaction of humans with AI is the estimation of difficulty for human and AI agents for single task instances. Research in the field of human-AI interaction estimates the perceived difficulty of humans and AI independently from each other. Research to date has not yet adequately examined the differences in the perceived difficulty of humans and AI.

  We take a closer look at AI fairness and analyze how lack of AI fairness can lead to deepening of biases over time. We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups. If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.

  We argue that the most successful AI agents will likely have undesirable traits. If such agents have intelligence that exceeds that of humans, this could lead to humanity losing control of its future. To counteract these risks and evolutionary forces, we consider interventions such as carefully designing AI agents' intrinsic motivations.

  In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society. A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests. This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.

  The rise of Artificial Intelligence will bring with it an ever-increasing willingness to cede decision-making to machines. But rather than just giving machines the power to make decisions that affect us, we need ways to work cooperatively with AI systems. With success, cooperation between humans and AIs can build society just as human-human cooperation has.
