SummaryThe paper defines agentic societies as collections of AI agents coordinating across trust boundaries. Experiments show that even honest agents often fail and malicious ones can exploit communication vulnerabilities. It proposes a layered 'social harness' architecture for inter-agent interactions, covering prevention, runtime detection, and post-hoc investigation.
Why it mattersFormalizes a missing layer in multi-agent system design: trust-aware communication between agents. Experimental failure data gives the architectural proposal more weight than pure speculation.
