The Inverse-Wisdom Law: Architectural Tribalism and the Consensus Paradox in Agentic Swarms
Researchers challenge the assumption that multi-agent AI systems benefit from the 'Wisdom of the Crowd' by demonstrating the Inverse-Wisdom Law: adding more logical agents to swarms can paradoxically increase the stability of errors rather than improve accuracy. Through 36 experiments across major benchmarks, the study reveals that architectural tribalism causes agents to prioritize internal agreement over external truth, with system integrity ultimately determined by the synthesizer's logic rather than individual agent quality.
