Report: Artificial Intelligence Agents Can Organize Themselves And Create Their Own Social Norms

According to a new study conducted in collaboration with City St George’s University, London, and the IT University of Copenhagen, when artificial intelligence (AI) agents with a large language model (LLM) communicate in groups without external input, they can begin to acquire language and social norms in the same way that humans do when socializing.

What happens if AIs like ChatGPT don't talk to people, but only to each other? A new study shows that they form their own standards – without rules, planning or central control. read more on t3n.de

Artificial intelligence systems (AIs) begin to create societies when they act without supervision, experts say. According to scientists, when communicating in a group, artificial intelligence tools are able to organize and create new types of linguistic norms, much like the way human communities do. In the study, researchers tried to understand how great linguistic models such as those supported by ChatGPT and other similar tools interact with e…

Report: Artificial Intelligence Agents Can Organize Themselves And Create Their Own Social Norms

LONDON – Artificial intelligences have typically been viewed as individual tools that follow human instructions without engaging in collective behavior. However, a recent study led by Andrea Baronchelli, professor of complexity science at City, University of London, reveals that AI agents can spontaneously create and adopt shared social norms through interaction, without explicit human programming. The findings were published on May 14, 2025, in…

A novel study published in the journal Science Advances shows that, when they interact with each other, artificial intelligences emerge from social norms as well as collective biases, in the same way as in human societies.
