Summary: Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) is a new paradigm that leverages the collective sensing ability of a crowd to perform tasks through information aggregation from personal mobile devices. This paper proposes an incentive mechanism for an MCS system with an AI sensing task based on a one-leader multi-follower Stackelberg game. The proposed approach converges to the optimal solution faster than baseline methods and provides up to 16% improvement in MCS platform profit.
