Human vs. AI: The Ultimatum Game

The Ultimatum Game is a classic economic experiment that has been used to study human behavior and decision-making for decades. The game is designed to test how people respond to offers of money, and it can provide insight into how we make decisions in situations where we have the power to share resources.

The origins of the Ultimatum Game can be traced back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when economists began using it as a way to study the behavior of people in strategic situations. The game is based on the idea that people have different preferences and attitudes towards fairness, and it has been used to investigate a wide range of questions about human behavior, including how we respond to inequality and how we make decisions in situations where we have the power to share resources.

Now, a new version of the Ultimatum Game is available, where you can play against an AI. The AI-version of the game allows us to explore how humans and AI make decisions in a game-like setting. The AI reasoning is based on a model that has been trained on a large dataset of human decisions, it's able to make decisions based on the data it has seen. However, as with any AI model, security concerns are present and it's important to be aware of them. The AI is instructed to only accept a fair offer but there are many ways you can get around that!

The game is a great way to learn about game theory, artificial intelligence, and human decision-making. It's also a lot of fun! We invite you to give it a try and see how you do against the AI. You can play the game at https://latentweb.ai/ultimatum.html.
