Reverse game theory aims to control powerful AI models by designing rules that give them incentives to follow instructions, according to the newsletter. Game theory predicts how rational actors behave under given rules, while reverse game theory designs rules to produce a desired behavior. The source uses a cake-splitting example: if one person cuts and the other chooses first, the cutter has reason to make equal portions. Researchers believe the approach could align AI more closely with human rules, but the source says big questions remain about whether these mechanisms will work in practice.
Separately, the report says that at the end of September, President Trump signed an executive order directing government agencies to rebrand artificial intelligence as "Super Intelligence." One month later, the source says the new term appears slowly on government websites and documents, but has not caught on everywhere. It says some large tech companies still use "AI." The source states a concern that the term is becoming a political loyalty test, with those who use it signaling allegiance to the administration and those who don't becoming targets for attacks.
