Researchers have developed a new game theory framework, the "embedded equilibrium," to better model the behavior of foundation model-based AI agents. Unlike classical game theory which assumes decoupled agency, this new model treats agents as embedded within their environment, considering their own decision-making processes as part of the system. This approach leads to predictions of cooperation, contrasting with traditional models that often predict defection in social dilemmas. The "embedded Bayesian agent" formalizes this by allowing agents to infer behavioral similarity among others, using their own planning deliberations as evidence for potential cooperation. AI
