Interaction Protocol Shapes Moral Judgment in Multi-Agent Debate
Quick summary
arXiv:2510.10002v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As agentic AI systems are deployed in advisory and evaluative roles, understanding how multi-agent interactions shape behavior becomes essential. Multi-agent debate has been studied as a mechanism to improve accuracy, but less is known about how debate structure -- the interaction protocol -- affects the values, dynamics, and consensus patterns that emerge when models navigate contested, real-world decisions. We address this gap by facilitating multi-agent debates among three models (GPT-4.1, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and Gemini 2.0 Flash) to collec

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
