First reported
Exponential View ran this on .
- Anthropic tested AI agents on a classic psychology experiment where one person holds crucial information the group lacks. Agents chose correctly only 17-36% of the time, far below human performance.
- A single agent with access to all the same information chose correctly nearly every time, showing the problem occurs specifically when agents must work together and rely on each other's input.
