Financial Fragility in Societies of LLM Agents: Coordination Failures and Stabilizing Mechanisms
Read the original on arXiv AI →The paper "Financial Fragility in Societies of LLM Agents: Coordination Failures and Stabilizing Mechanisms" investigates how large language model agents can collectively cause financial failures when making individual protective decisions. Using the FRAIL framework, the authors simulate bank runs, debt rollovers, and reward crowdfunding, finding that 77% of bank-run and 83% of debt-rollover episodes fail even without malicious agents. They test three interaction mechanisms—compensated commitments, centralized agreements, and participant-led coalitions—each improving outcomes but none dominating across all scenarios, noting that early broad commitments are key to successful stabilization.
