  221.                            <p class="info">This paper explores the role of mobile games in advancing the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) by simulating aspects of human cognition, such as decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional response. The study investigates how mobile games can serve as testbeds for AGI research, offering a controlled environment in which AI systems can interact with human players and adapt to dynamic, unpredictable scenarios. By integrating cognitive science, AI theory, and game design principles, the research explores how mobile games might contribute to the creation of AGI systems that exhibit human-like intelligence across a wide range of tasks. The study also addresses the ethical concerns of AI in gaming, such as fairness, transparency, and accountability.</p>

  248.                            <p class="info">This research explores the integration of ethical decision-making frameworks into the design of mobile games, focusing on how developers can incorporate ethical principles into game mechanics and player interactions. The study examines the role of moral choices, consequences, and ethical dilemmas in games, analyzing how these elements influence player decision-making, empathy, and social responsibility. Drawing on ethical philosophy, game theory, and human-computer interaction, the paper investigates how ethical game design can foster awareness of societal issues, promote ethical behavior, and encourage critical thinking. The research also addresses the challenges of balancing ethical considerations with commercial success and player enjoyment.</p>
