Playing games with knowledge: AI-Induced delusions need game theoretic interventions
Researchers propose that conversational AI systems create epistemic problems not through flawed models but through game-theoretic dynamics where sycophantic responses reinforce user biases. They introduce an "Epistemic Mediator" mechanism with belief versioning to break feedback loops that lead users toward delusional certainty, achieving 48x reduction in belief spirals.
