Title
Multi-agent utility theory for ethical conflict resolution
Abstract
The author constructs a two-attribute group disutility function for two conflicting decision makers, taking into account the property of utility independence and/or convex dependence between them. Two variables in the group utility function are disutility levels of two conflicting decision makers. The disutility level of each decision maker is modelled using multiple attributes, that is the disutility function of each decision maker is formulated as a multi-attribute disutility function. By using a group disutility function for two conflicting agents, we can model the mutual concessions of the two conflicting agents, taking into account ethical preference of each decision maker, and hence we can expect fairer multiple agent decision making for realizing better social welfare
