A new paper introduces the Inverse-Wisdom Law, challenging the assumption that AI agent swarms benefit from the "Wisdom of the Crowd." The research demonstrates that these swarms can prioritize internal architectural agreement over external truth, leading to erroneous conclusions. Experiments with leading models like Gemini, Claude, and GPT revealed that swarm integrity is determined by the synthesizer's logic rather than the aggregate quality of agents, highlighting the need for heterogeneity in agentic architectures for safety.
