Why alignment researchers, engineers and social scientists should study multi-agent systems
logangraham · x · 2026-08-19
Logan Graham pitches the team's multi-agent research blog, addressing three audiences:
- Alignment/safety/character researchers: multi-agent systems are what you should align
- Engineers: engineering these systems is one of the most interesting challenges there is
- Social scientists: this is a valid, society-scale experiment at machine speed — and you should genuinely care about these agents
