Prompting Fairness: Artificial Intelligence as Game Players

Understand

Utilitarian games such as dictator games to measure fairness have been studied in the social sciences for decades.

• These games have given us insight into not only how humans view fairness but also in what conditions the frequency of fairness, altruism and greed increase or decrease.
• While these games have traditionally been focused on humans, the rise of AI gives us the ability to study how these models play these games.
• AI is becoming a constant in human interaction and examining how these models portray fairness in game play can give us some insight into how AI makes decisions.
