Social Laws for Multi-agent Coordination in Stochastic Environments

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper extends the concept of social laws from deterministic, goal-based multi‑agent systems to stochastic, reward‑based environments. It introduces a formalism for defining and verifying the robustness of these laws, including a new metric called α‑robustness that quantifies the utility each agent can guarantee while following the law. The authors present a verification approach that reduces the problem to solving multiple Markov decision processes and demonstrate the framework’s potential through empirical evaluations on toy environments.

CoopEval: Benchmarking Cooperation-Sustaining Mechanisms and LLM Agents in Social Dilemmas

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.
