让智能体像社会人一样协作,靠激励机制实现自主决策与高效分工。
AgentSociety: Incentivizing Agentic Social Intelligence

- 基于液态民主与信息传播设计激励机制,支持智能体自主决策。
- 智能体通过自我利益驱动选择性披露信息,提升影响力并形成共识路由路径。
- 适用于多智能体系统、自动化任务分配,尤其适合开放与异构智能体协同场景。
部署成功的智能体需具备处理开放式用户请求的能力,不仅直接解决问题,还需有效利用跨智能体通信渠道与反馈信号。为此,我们提出 $ exttt{AgentSociety}$,一种基于液态民主与社会选择理论中信息扩散的去中心化智能体协作机制。该机制使智能体在本地上下文中自主决策以最大化自身效用,同时通过激励合作达成集体成果。我们证明:向更优邻居代理委托任务具有激励相容性,并自然生成基于共识的多智能体路由路径;同时,当信息披露符合自身利益时,智能体有动力选择性共享信息以获取影响力。我们刻画了纳什均衡,表明智能体收益反映其边际贡献。我们将开源与专有前沿语言模型在 $ exttt{AgentSociety}$ 中采用的策略与最优响应进行对比,并在真实世界数据集上评估了自利异构智能体间基于共识的协作表现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The success of deployed agents relies on their ability to handle open-ended user requests using their inherent capabilities, not only in solving requests directly but also in effectively leveraging inter-agent communication channels and feedback signals over time. This requires a multi-agent environment where agents can operate autonomously, strategically communicate, behave collaboratively and be driven by economic incentives, much like humans in society. Towards this vision, we propose $\mathtt{AgentSociety}$, a mechanism that enables decentralized agentic collaboration grounded in liquid democracy and information diffusion from social choice theory. We show that $\mathtt{AgentSociety}$ provides an environment for agents to make autonomous decisions utilizing their local context to maximize their utility while achieving collective outcomes through incentivized collaboration. Specifically, we prove that delegation to more competent neighbor agents is incentive compatible and naturally generates multi-agent routing path by consensus. Additionally, our mechanism incentivizes agents to selectively disclose information to their neighbor agents when doing so aligns with their self-interest, so as to garner influence. We characterize the Nash equilibrium showing that agent payoffs are reflective of their marginal contributions. We compare and benchmark strategy profiles adopted by open and proprietary state-of-the-art language models deployed in $\mathtt{AgentSociety}$ against best response. Finally, we evaluate collaborative performance from consensus-based routing among self-interested heterogeneous agents in $\mathtt{AgentSociety}$ on real-world datasets.
