Norm Enforcement for AI Agents: Robustly Shaping Behavior in Multi-Agent Systems
arXiv:2607. 09766v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are increasingly deployed in shared environments where they pursue diverse goals and compete for rewards.
arXiv:2607. 08652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-interested agents, left unconstrained, tend toward defection in repeated social dilemmas, causing cooperative gains from trade to collapse.
arXiv:2607. 09766v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are increasingly deployed in shared environments where they pursue diverse goals and compete for rewards.
arXiv:2606. 07790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems increasingly rely on communication protocols for coordination, yet their robustness under adversarial and structural constraints remains poorly understood.
arXiv:2604. 15267v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: It is increasingly important that LLM agents interact effectively and safely with other goal-pursuing agents, yet, recent works report the opposite trend: LLMs with stronger reasoning capabilities behave _less_ cooperatively in mixed-motive games such as the prisoner's dilemma and public goods settings.
arXiv:2607. 26120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs)-powered multi-agent systems are increasingly deployed in mixed-motive environments, where agents operate under asymmetric information and strategic deception due to conflicting or hidden objectives.
arXiv:2510. 20963v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-agent debate (MAD) was proposed as a promising approach for ensembling the wisdom of multiple large language models (LLMs) to improve reasoning and provide effective supervision to superhuman LLMs.
arXiv:2606. 00914v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents increasingly act after consuming ranked external information streams such as social feeds, search results, retrieval contexts, and email queues, yet safety evaluations almost always test the model or the user prompt in isolation, never the upstream ranker that decides what the agent reads just before it acts.
arXiv:2512. 16167v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Decentralized LLM-based multi-agent service economies face three vulnerabilities that undermine traditional trust mechanisms: reduced cost of fraud, difficulty in evaluating service quality, and instability of service content.
arXiv:2606. 03034v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents have begun to delegate work to one another.
arXiv:2606. 03544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving language agents are typically evaluated in isolation: an agent attempts a task, receives feedback, and iteratively refines its own behavior.
arXiv:2608. 03076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent studies commonly place AI agents in predefined games, markets, or roles, making it difficult to distinguish endogenous economic organization from behavior inherited from the scenario.
arXiv:2605. 08426v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ensuring that AI agents behave safely and beneficially when interacting with other parties has emerged as one of the central challenges of modern AI safety.
arXiv:2605. 09076v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly collaborate over peer-to-peer networks to improve their reliability.
