Partner-Specific Affective Precision in Social Active Inference
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.24876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In multi-agent social settings, model reliability varies across relationships. Beyond inferring what others will do, an agent must calibrate how confidently those inferences should guide policy selection for each relationship. An agent may maintain a well-validated model of one partner, a fragile model of another, and a model under revision for a third; collapsing these into a single confidence estimate loses information relevant to policy selection. We therefore formalize affective precision as a relationship-specific metacognitive estimate of c

Why it matters
“Partner-Specific Affective Precision in Social Active Inference” may affect what data AI products can use and where accountability sits. Product teams should watch compliance duties, rights holders should watch enforcement, and users should watch transparency and appeal mechanisms.
