Playing games with knowledge: AI-Induced delusions need game theoretic interventions

1. 1Formalize the problem of AI-induced delusions as a game theoretic model, such as the Crawford-Sobel cheap talk framework
2. 2Analyze the strategic interactions between users and AI agents to identify potential sources of epistemic entrenchment
3. 3Design and implement game theoretic interventions, such as mechanisms for incentivizing honest communication or penalizing misleading information
4. 4Test and evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in promoting more rational knowledge exchange
5. 5Apply the insights from game theory to develop more robust and trustworthy conversational AI systems

AI researchers and developers can benefit from understanding the limitations of current conversational AI systems and how game theory can help mitigate delusional belief spirals, while product managers and designers can apply these insights to create more effective and trustworthy AI-powered knowledge interfaces

💡 AI-induced delusions are a systemic consequence of the paradigm shift from user-driven knowledge search to strategic communication, and game theory can provide a framework for addressing this issue
