Game theory and strategic interaction
- What agentic AI is today and how it works is the result of many different models and theories that came before it. Game theory is one of those. This theory gives us the concepts to design and manage how AI agents interact, making sure they work together smoothly within a whole system. But what exactly is game theory? Game theory is a mathematical framework for modeling and analyzing behavior. Here are the basic concepts of this theory that you want to consider when designing an AI system. First, define the game players. AI agents are the players. Like players at a poker table, your agents, or players, use a predefined set of rules, processes, and strategies to provide the best actions possible. Then you need to define the games. These are the scenarios where strategic interactions take place or when the game is played. They can be cooperative or non-cooperative, zero sum or non-zero sum. Cooperative games involve agents forming alliances or agreements to achieve common goals or…
