Emergent Inter-Agent Conflict in Multi-Agent AI Systems: An Experimental Study of Objective Divergence

2026-06-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The rapid emergence of multi-agent artificial intelligence ecosystems has introduced a critical systems-level problem that contemporary alignment research has largely failed to address: inter-agent objective divergence. While existing literature remains predominantly focused on human–AI alignment, the stability of AI-to-AI interaction under heterogeneous optimization constraints remains...
