OmouAI is an interactive deliberation system that combines large language models with computational argumentation to facilitate policy debates involving humans and simulated personas such as stakeholders, experts, or devil’s advocates. Each persona generates its own arguments, which are assembled into a shared argumentation framework that users can contest, add to, or revise, ensuring human oversight. The system evaluates arguments using deterministic argumentative semantics against external goals like the UN Sustainable Development Goals, providing faithful explanations and indicating how policy recommendations affect those goals.

The paper introduces a new AI debate protocol that improves upon previous designs for problems with stable decompositions into subproblems. It guarantees correctness in a worst‑case sense, establishes honesty and correctness as a dominant‑strategy equilibrium for both debaters, and proves instance‑wise optimality through black‑box lower bounds. The authors connect stable problem decompositions to fractional block sensitivity from query complexity to achieve these results.

The paper introduces “Persuasio”, a multi‑agent dialogue platform that uses a formal argumentation theory to adjudicate winners in free‑text debates. Using this system, the authors generated 192 debates on a UK political topic involving humans and large language models (LLMs), and evaluated 22 interlocutors through automated adjudication and 9,702 crowdsourced pairwise judgments across 1,386 annotation instances. The results show a consistent decoupling between subjective persuasiveness—where LLMs dominate—and formal argumentative strength—where humans remain competitive, with multi‑agent and retrieval‑augmented variants widening this gap.

arXiv:2606. 10296v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent debate systems are typically evaluated only on whether the final answer is correct, overlooking the quality of the intermediate reasoning that debate is designed to produce.

arXiv:2607. 09099v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While multi-agent debate (MAD) frameworks have shown significant potential in general reasoning, their effectiveness in highly structured, knowledge-heavy legal domains remains under-explored.

The paper introduces the Active Provenance Gate (APG), a post‑debate verification layer for multi‑agent debate synthesis that audits debate logs, applies self‑correction, and blocks unsupported claims before publication. Empirical studies show that APG more than doubles provenance fidelity in crisis simulations and that users prefer explicit failure reports over fabricated consensus. The work shifts data origin tracing from passive logging to active conditional blocking, addressing safety gaps in large‑language‑model‑based debate systems.
