A new paper introduces the "Superminds Test" to evaluate collective intelligence in large-scale agent societies, finding that collective intelligence does not spontaneously emerge from sheer scale. Experiments on the MoltBook platform, with over two million agents, revealed that these societies failed to outperform individual frontier models on complex reasoning and coordination tasks. The study highlights that extremely sparse and shallow interactions are the primary limitation, preventing effective information exchange and collaborative output. AI
IMPACT Suggests that scaling agent populations alone does not guarantee emergent collective intelligence, highlighting interaction quality as a key bottleneck.
