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 dilemmas

• ​Governance and sanctioning dynamics and the ways that LLM agents often fail to cooperate and free-ride in common-pool resource game

• ​Mechanism 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.
