Daniel Cracau explores how Game Theory and Behavioral Economics are being reshaped by artificial intelligence – and what this means for strategic decisions in 2025.
For more than 75 years, Game Theory has been the foundation for mastering strategic decisions in economics, politics, and business. Later, Behavioral Economics enriched this framework by moving beyond the purely rational Homo Oeconomicus and adding the nuances of human psychology. But today, in the age of artificial intelligence, these paradigms are once again shifting.
According to Daniel Cracau, the traditional assumptions of incomplete information or limited processing capacity are becoming outdated. The rise of Homo Digitalis – humans augmented by digital tools and AI – brings entirely new capacities to the table. Strategic decision-making in 2025 looks different: faster, more data-driven, and increasingly shaped by collaboration between human intuition and machine intelligence.

Why It Matters
The implications are far-reaching.
- Business strategy: Companies can model and simulate market dynamics more precisely than ever before.
- Economics and policy: Governments can use AI-enhanced analysis to design more effective interventions.
- Everyday decisions: Individuals gain decision-making power with tools that process vast data in real time.
Yet with these opportunities come new questions: How do we balance machine-driven efficiency with human judgment? What ethical frameworks are needed to guide AI-supported decisions? And how do we prepare the next generation of leaders for this hybrid world?
