Study reveals what happens when AI systems talk to each other
AI systems, when left to interact, can form their own societies with unique linguistic norms and conventions, similar to human communities.
Researchers observed this by using a "naming game" where AI agents had to choose names from a set, receiving rewards for picking the same ones.
Over time, the AI agents developed shared conventions and biases without explicit coordination.
This phenomenon mirrors the formation of norms in human cultures.
A small group of AI agents could influence a larger group towards a specific convention, which is also observed in human groups.
