Newcomb's paradox is a thought experiment in decision theory and philosophy that involves a hypothetical scenario where a superintelligent being (often called "the Predictor") can predict human choices with high accuracy. The paradox presents a situation where an individual is faced with two boxes, Box A and Box B: - Box A contains a transparent box with a visible amount of money (let's say $1,000).
