Judgement-proof Problem and Superhuman AI Agents
The law and economics literature identifies the “judgement-proof problem” as a standard argument in law-making discussions operationalizing policies, doctrines, and the rules. This chapter attempts to show that super-intelligent AI agent may cause harm to

Famous Hollywood movies like “I robot” where a god detective Spooner—alias Will Smith—chases hordes of evil and conscious robots attempting to enslave humans are actually missing the point. It is competence, and not consciousness, that matters.
