AI swarms spontaneously grow scale-free hub topologies, MIT professor observes
ProfBuehlerMIT · x · 2026-09-23
Robert Buehler highlights emergent organization in AI swarms: a few agents spontaneously become highly connected hubs while most stay local, producing a long-tailed degree distribution. Local interactions plus preferential attachment (Barabási–Albert dynamics) yield information brokers and global integration with no central planner — the same class of emergence seen in phase transitions and self-organized criticality.
