Predictive Assistance and the Temporal Dynamics of Exploratory Compression
Balaraju Battu
Classical theories of cognition describe problem solving as exploratory search through structured problem spaces in which repeated interaction gradually compresses search into effi…
Exploratory Responsiveness and Adaptive Rigidity under AI-Assisted Optimization
Balaraju Battu
This paper develops a theory of exploratory adaptation under AI-assisted optimization. The central argument is that the long-run adaptive effects of AI systems depend critically on…
Static network structure cannot stabilize cooperation among Large Language Model agents
Jin Han, Balaraju Battu, Ivan Romić +2
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to model human social behavior, with recent research exploring their ability to simulate social dynamics. Here, we test whether L…
Overcoming the Machine Penalty with Imperfectly Fair AI Agents
Zhen Wang, Ruiqi Song, Chen Shen +7
Despite rapid technological progress, effective human-machine cooperation remains a significant challenge. Humans tend to cooperate less with machines than with fellow humans, a ph…
