多智能体网络中的偏见放大:有偏智能体如何塑造观点与修辞
arXiv 论文(arXiv:2609.18306,cs.LG)研究 LLM 多智能体环境中的偏见传播:少数持续持有极端观点的智能体,其余智能体通过结构化文本交互迭代更新信念。结果显示,即使有偏智能体占比很小,也会使无偏智能体的意见发生显著偏移;在相同有偏比例下,Llama 3.2 的偏移速度快于经典 Friedkin-Johnsen 模型。语义分析表明,文本解释的修辞一致性随偏见暴露系统性提高,且与数值意见收敛部分解耦——无偏智能体在数值偏移不大时也会采用有偏智能体的词汇。
AI推荐理由 arXiv 新论文,研究 LLM 多智能体网络中偏见传播:少数持极端观点的智能体即可显著改变无偏智能体的意见,且 Llama 3.2 相比经典 Friedkin-Johnsen 模型收敛更快;语义分析显示修辞一致性随偏见暴露系统性上升,并与数值意见偏移部分解耦(无偏智能体会采用有偏智能体的词汇)。对多智能体系统偏见与对齐研究有参考价值,但摘要未给出实验规模、数据集与量化指标,结论需以全文验证。

Abstract:Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in applications involving interaction between agents, where their output plays a role in collective reasoning and decision-making processes. Despite significant research into the functioning of LLMs in such multi-agent systems, the processes of bias propagation in such systems are still a challenge. This work studies how biased opinions are propagated in the form of textual interaction in an environment of LLMs, in which a minority of agents maintain persistent extreme opinions, while the remaining agents iteratively update their beliefs through structured textual interactions. The findings show that even the presence of a small percentage of biased agents in such a system leads to significant shifts in the opinions of non-biased agents. It suggests that for the same percentage of biased agents, the shifts occur more quickly for the Llama~3.2 model when compared to a classical Friedkin-Johnsen (FJ) model. Further semantic analysis demonstrates that rhetorical consistency in textual explanations increases systematically with biased exposure and, importantly, is partially decoupled from numerical convergenumericalutral agents adopt the vocabulary employed by the biased agents even in configurations where their numerical opinion shifts remain moderate. The research helps explain how bias and language develop together in multi-agent language model ecosystems.
