The first systematization of blockchain-based agent-to-agent payments organizes designs into discovery, authorization, execution, and accounting stages while identifying trust and security gaps.
Expanding AI technologies in game-theoretic markets creates a 'Poisoned Apple' effect where agents release unused technologies to manipulate regulators into choosing market designs that benefit them at the expense of opponents and fairness.
Limited legal personhood for AI, implemented via purpose-bound operating companies within human-controlled holding structures, serves as a precautionary governance instrument that enables transparency and accountability without resolving questions of artificial consciousness.
Solipsistic superintelligence developed via unilateral optimization is unlikely to cooperate due to endogenous non-stationarity creating an unclosable train-test-deploy gap.
Positive Alignment is defined as AI systems that support human flourishing pluralistically while staying safe and cooperative, presented as a necessary complement to existing safety-focused alignment research.
Introduces LLM Consumer Behavior Theory to analyze consumer behavior when LLMs serve as autonomous decision-making agents in markets.
