The off-switch game is a game theoretic model of a highly intelligent robot interacting with a human. In the original paper by Hadfield-Menell et al. (2016b), the analysis is not fully game-theoretic as the human is modelled as an irrational player, and the robots best action is only calculated under unrealistic normality and soft-max assumptions. In this paper, we make the analysis fully game theoretic, by modelling the human as a rational player with a random utility function. As a consequence, we are able to easily calculate the robots best action for arbitrary belief and irrationality assumptions.
