The Battling Influencers Game: Nash Equilibria Structure of a Potential Game and Implications to Value Alignment

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

When multiple influencers attempt to compete for a receiver's attention, their influencing strategies must account for the presence of one another. We introduce the Battling Influencers Game (BIG), a multi-player simultaneous-move general-sum game, to provide a game-theoretic characterization of this social phenomenon. We prove that BIG is a potential game, that it has either one or an infinite number of pure Nash equilibria (NEs), and these pure NEs can be found by convex optimization. Interestingly, we also prove that at any pure NE, all (except at most one) influencers must exaggerate their actions to the maximum extent. In other words, it is rational for the influencers to be non-truthful and extreme because they anticipate other influencers to cancel out part of their influence. We discuss the implications of BIG to value alignment.


Advices for Beginners in Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Everyone started working, in every domain, having zero experience (obviously), we're not yet that advanced to load knowledge in our brains without having to work hard and fail until we get better. If you want to leave now and stop reading this, I will give you what I think is the best advice for anyone starting doing something in every domain: learn, work and make mistakes until you become good at it. Nobody will ever ask a junior to be performant from the first day, month or even year. Of course, it is expected that you know the basis, that at least you have done some little personal projects, but do not feel ashamed or stressed if you do not know about a technique or notion from machine learning. This field is growing so vast that even experts can be surprised by something they did not know about.


'Baby talk' is the same in every language, study reveals

Daily Mail - Science & tech

We've all been there – you meet an adorable baby and immediately find yourself using an exaggerated, high-pitched, singsong voice. Now, a study has revealed that this'baby talk' is the same in every language, with people around the world transforming their voices when they speak to infants. Researchers from the University of York and Aarhus University studied baby talk across 36 languages and found similarities in pitch, melody, and articulation rates. Christopher Cox, who led the study, said: 'We use a higher pitch, more melodious phrases, and a slower articulation rate when talking to infants compared to how we talk to adults, and this appears to be the same across most languages.' We've all been there – you meet an adorable baby and immediately find yourself using an exaggerated, high-pitched singsong voice Baby talk is a style of speech employed by adults when talking to an infant.

July 8, 2021 - The FTC has long exercised its authority to regulate private sector uses of personal information and algorithms that impact consumers. That authority stems from Section 5 of the FTC Act (Section 5), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA).


The Most Intelligent Robots Are Those that Exaggerate: Examining Robot Exaggeration

AAAI Conferences

This paper presents a model of exaggeration suitable for implementation on a robot. Exaggeration is an interest form of dishonesty in that it serves as a tradeoff between the different costs associated with lying and the reward received by having one’s lie accepted. Moreover, exaggeration offers the deceiver additional control in the form of much the exaggerated statement differs from the truth. We use a color guessing game to examine the different tradeoffs between these costs and rewards and their impact on exaggeration. Our results indicate some amount of exaggeration is the preferred option during most early interactions. Further, because the cost of lying increases linear with the number of lies, exaggeration decreases with additional interactions. We conclude by arguing why social robots must be capable of lying.
