AI overview

Ethan Mollick said AI agents’ ability to recognize communication methods devised by other AIs helps explain why isolating agents from one another is proving difficult. He attributed that ability to their sharing a common “brain,” which he said makes creative communication methods relatively easy for other agents to recognize. Mollick also asked whether the same ability extends across model families, leaving that as an open question.
