A new paper, Prospective Regret Architecture (PRA), proposes equipping AI agents with a mechanism to anticipate regret before making decisions. Unlike traditional agents that solely maximize expected value, PRA suggests agents should simulate potential negative outcomes and the associated regret for each option. This prospective regret is then used as a penalty, influencing the decision-making process to favor safer choices, with a tunable parameter controlling the agent's aversion to regret. The system also includes a post-hoc calibrator to adjust future regret aversion based on actual outcomes. AI
IMPACT This research could lead to AI agents that make more robust and human-like decisions by incorporating a simulated sense of regret.
