New theory explores LLM agents' impact on consumer behavior

A new theoretical framework, LLM Consumer Behavior Theory, is proposed to analyze consumer actions in markets where large language models (LLMs) act as autonomous agents. This field integrates economics and natural language processing to understand how LLM agents represent and act on human preferences, and how these decisions shape overall market demand. The theory identifies potential failures in traditional economic assumptions, such as rationality, within these agentic markets and outlines key research areas including alignment and preference representation.

    LLM Consumer Behavior Theory: Foundations of a Novel Research Field

    Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents that make consumption decisions on behalf of users. This shift raises fundamental questions for consumer theory, which has traditionally modeled humans as the primary decision-makers. In this paper, we in…
