Dejan Milutinovic has solved a nearly 60-year-old game theory dilemma called the wall pursuit game, with implications for better reasoning about autonomous systems such as driverless vehicles.

Researchers are drawing on ideas from game theory to improve large language models and make them more correct, efficient, and consistent.

Game theory also applies to larger economic issues. In a more practical sense, it pertains to fair auctions, says Jennifer Chayes, dean of the School of Computing at UC Berkeley, who’s ...

Game theory is usually difficult to test in the field because predictions typically depend sensitively on features that are not controlled or observed. We conduct one such test using both laboratory ...

Learn how to apply game theory principles to your advantage in everyday situations and decision-making.

As the United Auto Workers strike against Detroit’s Big Three drags on, a classic behavioral theory provides a way to figure out how long it may continue.

A week before the test, I told my class that the Game Theory exam would be insanely hard—far harder than any that had established my rep as a hard prof. But as recompense, for this one time only ...

The deceptive simplicity of the Prisoner's Dilemma game may tempt researchers to make unwarranted analogies between it and more complex human interactions. The classic Dilemma is examined jointly from ...

The mathematical description of a zero-sum two-person game is not difficult to construct, and determining the optimal strategies and the value of the game is computationally straightforward.
