Game theory model reveals instability in GenAI publisher competition

A new game-theoretic model explores the strategic behavior of content publishers within generative AI (GenAI) ecosystems. The research introduces a framework to analyze how publishers compete for attribution-based exposure when GenAI systems generate answers with citations. The study investigates learning dynamics under better-response dynamics, associating convergence to equilibrium with ecosystem stability. Findings indicate that some real-world mechanisms lead to unstable ecosystems, while a characterized mechanism can induce stability, though stable mechanisms may not always maximize overall welfare.

    Learning Dynamics of Strategic Publishers in Generative AI Ecosystems

    Generative AI (GenAI) search systems are transforming how users access information. Unlike ranking-based search systems, where users observe a ranked list of documents, GenAI search systems, given a user's question, generate an answer, often accompanied by external sources (e.g.,…
