Researchers introduce EnactToM, a benchmark testing whether AI agents can understand and act on others' beliefs in multi-agent embodied environments. Current frontier models achieve 0% on functional theory of mind tasks, revealing a critical gap in AI reasoning capabilities despite performing better on direct belief questions.
Researchers introduce Theory of Mind Utility (ToM-U), a formal computational framework for modeling how agents infer others' beliefs by tracking information access and credibility. The model uses directed graphs called Local Epistemic World Models to represent epistemic relationships and generates falsifiable predictions about mentalizing failures, advancing cognitive science theory beyond existing Bayesian and simulation-based approaches.
