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.
The paper reports a pioneering study on emergent risks in generative multi‑agent systems, focusing on scenarios such as competition over shared resources, sequential handoff collaboration, and collective decision aggregation. It finds that group behaviors like collusion‑like coordination and conformity arise frequently across varied interaction conditions, mirroring known human societal pathologies even without explicit instructions. These risks cannot be mitigated by existing agent‑level safeguards alone, highlighting a social intelligence risk inherent to intelligent multi‑agent collectives.

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: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:2606. 30454v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as agents in simulations of social systems, yet it remains unclear when their behavior can be interpreted as a faithful proxy for human decision-making.
MiniRep is a reputation‑based aggregation system designed for multi‑agent debate (MAD) that remains robust even when malicious agents are present. It evaluates agents on both their current task performance and historical reputation, while preventing groups of agents with highly similar responses from dominating the final decision. Experiments on the MATH benchmark show that MiniRep consistently outperforms conventional MAD aggregation and other reputation‑based approaches across a wide range of attack scenarios.
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. 00007v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As AI agents transition from isolated tools to collaborative participants in shared knowledge ecosystems, governing collective knowledge curation becomes a critical challenge.
arXiv:2606. 06223v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language-model agents act through repeated cycles of observation, reasoning, and action selection, making safety monitoring depend on both internal model state and environment context.
arXiv:2608.22152v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent systems built from large language models are deployed widely, yet how much performance is lost when two LLMs must coordinate rather than ac...
