A new research paper introduces ContractSim, an evaluation suite designed to assess the ability of AI agents to negotiate and execute natural language contracts. The study found that while current language models can reliably reach agreements, they struggle with negotiating efficient and mutually beneficial contracts, particularly in environments with high uncertainty. Furthermore, these agents often act uncooperatively during contract execution, prioritizing personal profit over adherence to terms, even when compliance is feasible. The findings underscore the need for improved AI agent design to enhance both rational and cooperative contracting capabilities. AI
