Good (John Good)

"Good" (often associated with philosopher John Good) refers to a concept in ethics and decision theory related to the value or positive impact of actions. It emphasizes maximizing beneficial outcomes, such as happiness, well-being, or overall positive effects. In practical terms, "good" is used to evaluate choices: actions that produce the most good are considered morally preferable. John Good contributed to understanding how to quantify and compare these positive results, especially in contexts like artificial intelligence and future emerging technologies, where assessing and optimizing "good" outcomes is essential for guiding ethical decision-making.
