Critique of the Oracle Reward Model for Urban Planning
An AI system is being designed to manage a city's public transportation network with the goal of 'improving citizen well-being.' A proposal is made to build a perfect, all-knowing reward model that can precisely measure this goal. Critique this proposal. In your answer, explain the theoretical appeal of such a model in this context and analyze the primary reasons why its practical implementation would be exceptionally difficult, if not impossible.
