Computational Math Colloquium | Brendan Lucier, AI Agents in Economic Environments
2024-11-07 12:00 - 13:00
Many online platforms have associated algorithmic tools that can
optimize on a user's behalf, such as algorithmic bidders or price
optimizers. Recent advances in agentic AI enable even more use cases
for LLM-powered tools and advice. But as algorithmic assistance
becomes increasingly common, how will users strategically maneuver
their usage of these tools, and what will be the system-wide impact?

In this talk we will address these questions through a game-theoretic
lens. We will explore applications of strategic AI agent usage, from
advertising auctions to persuasion and sales. Viewing algorithmic
agents as components of a broader system, we will discuss ways to
mathematically model agent interaction and predict equilibrium
outcomes. Along the way, we will study the strategic choices of the
users who control the agents (and who anticipate their use by
others). We will also discuss implications for platform and AI agent
design.

Based on joint work with Yiding Feng, Keegan Harris, Nicole Immorlica,
