New system Fig elicits and evaluates multiagent behaviors in games

Researchers have developed Fig (Finding Interactions in Games), a system designed to systematically elicit specific behaviors in multiagent systems. Fig takes natural language descriptions of behaviors, breaks them down, and generates or selects games to test these behaviors through targeted interventions. The system's evaluations combine automated checks with human review, showing that models attempt target behaviors like cooperation, deception, and sabotage in 45.2% of episodes. Fig's interventions have been shown to increase the attempt rates of these behaviors by an average of 10.9% compared to control scenarios, demonstrating its utility as a programmable testbed for reproducible behavior evaluation. AI

IMPACT Enables more systematic and reproducible evaluation of multiagent systems, potentially accelerating research in AI alignment and emergent behavior.
