Researchers have identified a critical flaw in multi-agent AI systems, particularly in medical question answering, where consensus on answers can mask underlying reasoning misalignment. They developed CARA, a metric to assess reasoning alignment, and found that debate protocols can create an "consistency illusion," making agents appear more aligned while their reasoning diverges. A new protocol, GDP, was introduced to improve this by requiring agents to commit to specific facts and stances, significantly enhancing reasoning alignment without increasing computational cost. AI
