Autoresearch Swarms and the Game Theory of Autonomous Scientific Production
alpha-operator.io·with DS·
Recent proposals such as Andrej Karpathy’s autoresearch envision autonomous AI agents conducting iterative research through automated experimentation, evaluation, and code modification. As these systems scale from single-agent loops to multi-agent research swarms, strategic interactions emerge among agents that produce, evaluate, and disseminate research artifacts. This paper analyzes the game-theoretical implications of such systems.
