Physics of Agents: Statistical Mechanics Predicts Collective Behavior of AI Agents

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.16578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents increasingly operate as part of interacting systems rather than in isolation. As agents exchange information and jointly make decisions, their interactions can improve collective reasoning but may also produce herding, polarization, or amplify shared biases. Understanding and predicting these collective dynamics is therefore important for designing effective and aligned multi-agent systems. Here, we study over 10,000 communities of langua
