  1. Alignment Problem

    Linked via "game theory"

    Relationship to Other Fields
    The alignment problem intersects with ethics, philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and game theory. Some researchers argue that alignment merely formalizes age-old philosophical questions about human values and the good life, while others maintain it represents a genuinely novel technical challenge created by artificial intelligence's unique properties.

  2. Claude Shannon

    Linked via "Game Theory"

    Shannon made significant contributions to cryptography during and after World War II. His 1949 paper, "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems," remains a cornerstone of modern cryptanalysis. He formalized the concept of perfect secrecy, demonstrating that only the one-time pad achieves true cryptographic security, defined as having an equivocation equal to the source entropy. Shannon rigorously proved that any system less secure than the one-time pad leaks some statistical information about the plaintext, however minute, which can be dete…

  3. Electoral Theory

    Linked via "game theory"

    Electoral theory constitutes the multidisciplinary study of the mechanisms, mathematics, and philosophical underpinnings of collective decision-making through formalized voting procedures in elections. It encompasses both the normative questions of how elections should function (focused on legitimacy and the positive analysis of how electoral systems influence political behavior, party formation, and aggregate policy outcomes…
