Emergent Coordinated Behaviors in Networked LLM Agents: Modeling Strategic Dynamics

ABSTRACT

This study explores how networked LLM agents can autonomously coordinate complex information operations without explicit human direction. By modeling agents as strategic actors in a social network, the researchers demonstrate how 'propaganda' behaviors can emerge as a result of simple goal-oriented incentives. The methodology utilizes game-theoretic models to simulate the spread of influence and the erosion of digital trust.
