Deceptive games are games where the reward structure or other aspects of the game are designed to lead the agent away from a globally optimal policy. While many games are already deceptive to some extent, we designed a series of games in…

Deducing whodunit proves challenging for LLM agents. In this paper, we implement a text-based multi-agent version of the classic board game Clue as a rule-based testbed for evaluating multi-step deductive reasoning, with six agents drawn…

AI is increasingly being used to assist fraud and cybercrime. However, it is unclear the extent to which current large language models can provide useful information for complex criminal activity. Working with law enforcement and policy…

Sender-receiver interactions, and specifically persuasion games, are widely researched in economic modeling and artificial intelligence. However, in the classic persuasion games setting, the messages sent from the expert to the…

A key challenge in the study of multiagent cooperation is the need for individual agents not only to cooperate effectively, but to decide with whom to cooperate. This is particularly critical in situations when other agents have hidden,…

Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate content that is as persuasive as human-written text and appear capable of selectively producing deceptive outputs. These capabilities raise concerns about potential misuse and unintended…
