A Regulation Enforcement Solution For Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

Human behaviors are regularized by a variety of norms or regulations, either to maintain orders or to enhance social welfare. If artificially intelligent (AI) agents make decisions on behalf of human beings, we would hope they can also follow established regulations while interacting with humans or other AI agents. However, it is possible that an AI agent can opt to disobey the regulations (being defective) for self-interests. In this paper, we aim to answer the following question: Consider a multi-agent decentralized environment. Agents make decisions in complete isolation of other agents. Each agent knows the state of its own MDP and its own actions but it does not know the states and the actions taken by other players. There is a set of regulations for all agents to follow. Although most agents are benign and will comply to regulations but not all agents are compliant at first, can we develop a framework such that it is in the self-interest of non-compliant agents to comply after al
