Your AI Replacement, Trained on You

Your AI Replacement, Trained on You is a Principal Agent and Automation Bargaining scenario illustrating Cooperating with the system that replaces you is rational in the short term and catastrophic in the long term. Your company introduces an AI assistant built partly from your documented workflows, decision logs, and past communications. They ask you to help refine it — review outputs, flag errors, improve prompts. DecisionPlay maps the players, payoffs, and equilibrium dynamics that shape how this situation typically resolves.
