hierarchy. One agent ended up bossing

6:02

the others around as they went about their

6:04

mission. Graham

6:06

Newbig, an associate professor at

6:08

Carnegie Mellon University who organized

6:10

the ICRL workshop, is

6:12

experimenting with multi-agent collaboration for coding. He

6:14

says that the collaborative approach can be

6:16

powerful but also can lead to new

6:19

kinds of errors because it

6:21

adds more complexity. It's

6:23

possible that multi-agent systems are the way

6:25

to go, but it's not a foregone

6:27

conclusion, Newbig says. People

6:29

are already adapting the open-source autogen

6:32

framework in interesting ways, for instance

6:34

creating simulated writers' rooms to generate

6:36

fiction ideas and a virtual business

6:38

in a box with agents that

6:40

take on different corporate roles. Perhaps

6:43

it won't be too long until the

6:45

assignment my AI agents came up with

6:47

needs to be written. Thanks
