The Optimal Sample Complexity of Linear Contracts

Researchers have proven optimal sample complexity for learning linear contracts in offline settings, showing that Empirical Utility Maximization requires only O(ln(1/δ)/ε²) samples to approximate optimal contracts. This result matches theoretical lower bounds and establishes uniform convergence guarantees across all linear contracts.

Mechanism Design Is Not Enough: Prosocial Agents for Cooperative AI

Researchers prove that mechanism design alone cannot achieve optimal cooperation between AI agents due to incomplete contracts that cannot account for all future contingencies. The study demonstrates that prosocial agents—those designed to consider others' welfare alongside their own—can close this welfare gap and achieve superior outcomes in multi-agent scenarios and social dilemmas.
