What is  prisoners' dilemma game?

The prisoner's dilemma is a common illustration of a game explored in game theory that demonstrates why two logical people could disagree even though it seems to be in their best interests to collaborate.

The possible outcomes:

• If A and B each betray the other, each of them serves two years in prison
• If A betrays B but B remains silent, A will be set free and B will serve three years in prison

• If A remains silent but B betrays A, A will serve three years in prison and B will be set free
• If A and B both remain silent, both of them will serve one year in prison (on the lesser charge).
