A research project on AI-to-AI negotiation: what happens when language-model agents bargain with each other, on their own or on behalf of the people they represent.

Overview
More and more, AI agents are expected to act for people: buying, selling, scheduling and splitting shared resources. Soon they will be negotiating with other AI agents rather than with humans. Project Parley studies how those negotiations play out.
Why it matters
When both sides of a deal are models, it becomes important to know whether the agents stay faithful to their principals, whether they reach fair outcomes, and whether one model can mislead or out-maneuver another.
Status
Early stage. I'm currently studying prior work and existing negotiation frameworks before designing my own experiments.
