Co-NP reduced in polynomial-time

AI Thread Summary

Every language in co-NP can indeed be reduced in polynomial time to an instance of the formula ∀x P(x), where P is a Boolean formula with a single bound variable and no free variables. The definition of a language being in co-NP hinges on the existence of such an instance, along with the requirement that the predicate is computable in polynomial time. This highlights the relationship between co-NP languages and their polynomial-time reductions, emphasizing the computational complexity involved in verifying the properties of these languages.

Every language in co-NP can be reduced in polynomial-time to an instance of \forall x P(x) for some Boolean formula with a single bound variable and no free variables, right?

A definition of a language being in co-NP would be that such an instance exists and the predicate is polynomial-time computable. I'm not sure if this is what you are getting at.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
