Working paper proposes AI agent markets with state-conditional policies

A working paper proposes a new market structure called Reactive Intent Markets, designed for AI agents. These markets would allow participants to submit state-conditional policies rather than just price-quantity bids, enabled by atomic settlement which removes counterparty risk. The author, who collaborated with Anthropic's Claude in writing the paper, draws on personal experience from treasury desks and concepts like George Soros's reflexivity to argue that this new format could better capture market sentiment and prevent cascading failures.
