When are two agents said to be in competition?

  • A.Only one agent is permitted to act at any given moment
  • B.One agent's gain is another's loss under their performance measures
  • C.The agents are prevented from communicating with one another
  • D.The agents were designed independently by different organisations

Answer: B

Competition arises when the performance measures oppose, as in a zero sum game, so a rational opponent will act to reduce this agent's score. That makes minimax reasoning and worst case assumptions appropriate, where a cooperative setting would call for coordination. Communication restrictions, independent design and turn taking are incidental. Many real settings are partly cooperative and partly competitive, which is harder than either extreme.
