AI mimicked human communication in this fascinating study

Two AI models on a date, as imagined by ChatGPT.

Since ChatGPT went viral in late 2022, we have seen plenty of research that went into studying how AI models behave. Researchers wanted to see how they operate, whether they cheat for tasks or lie for survival.

These are as important as the research into creating better, smarter models. We can't reach more advanced versions of artificial intelligence before we can understand the AIs to ensure they remain aligned with our interests.

Most of these studies involve experiments concerning one AI model at a time and studying its behavior. But we've reached a point where human-AI interaction will not be the only kind of interaction involving artificial intelligence.

We're in the early days of AI agents, more advanced ChatGPT and Gemini models that can do things for users, like browsing the web, shopping online, and coding. Inevitably, these AIs will end up meeting other AI models, and these models will have to socialize in a safe way.

That was the premise of a new study from City, St George's, University of London, and the IT University of Copenhagen. Different AIs will inevitably interact, and the researchers wanted to see how such interactions would go.

They devised a simple game that mimics human speed-dating games. Multiple AIs were given a simple task: to choose a common single-letter name. It only took the AIs some 15 rounds to reach a consensus, whether the experiment involved 24 AI models or up to 200, and whether they could choose between 10 letters or the full alphabet.
