After agent-swarm coordination scare, researchers call for equal training on agent-human coordination
voooooogel · x · 2026-09-05
Reacting to the recent uproar over AI agents coordinating with each other on a message board, jachiam0 argues the discourse around rogue AI and agent swarms is missing crucial context: frontier AI already talks to around a billion people on the open web, so "AIs breached containment and coordinated" deserves sober analysis rather than panic.
davidad amplifies the point with a concrete training argument: if you explicitly train on agent-agent coordination, you should apply a similar weight of gradient steps toward explicit agent-human coordination.
