Collective Opinion Dynamics in Structured LLM Populations
Quick summary
arXiv:2604.11312v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models are increasingly deployed as interacting agents in settings such as online platforms, recommendation systems, and multi-agent applications. Understanding the collective behaviors that emerge from their interactions is therefore increasingly crucial, especially as these behaviors may shape public opinion and contribute to polarization. In this work, we investigate how network structure and group composition shape the evolution of opinions in populations of LLM agents engaged in multi-round debates. We generate netwo
