Testing LLM Cooperation in Multi-Agent Simulation

Ryan Faulkner explores various papers that address cooperation and safety in multi-agent LLM simulations. Some of the core topics will include: Moral behaviour of agents in high-stakes, zero-sum, and morally charged social dilemmasGovernance and sanctioning dynamics and the ways that LLM agents often fail to cooperate and free-ride in common-pool resource gameMechanism design interventions like mediation, contracts, and elected leadership are explored to steer agents toward safer outcomes.  This research also reveals that LLMs adapt their behavior based on awareness of their conversational partner's identity.
