EMERGENCE WORLD: A Laboratory for Evaluating Long-horizon Agent Autonomy — Emergence AI
Most evaluations of AI agents look like exams: a discrete task, a clean environment, a score in minutes or hours. Emergence World is built for the opposite question—what happens when you let agents run continuously, in a shared environment with real-world signals, for weeks. It is a research platfor
Agents
Intelligent agents are considered by many to be the ultimate goal of AI. The classic book by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (Prentice Hall, 1995), defines the field of AI research as “the study and design of rational agents.”

Agentic AI Governance: Securing Autonomous AI Agents in Enterprise
When AI agents start making decisions, calling tools, and coordinating with other agents without waiting for human approval, the governance playbook most...

Patterns and problems in multiagent systems
We ran experiments on swarms of Claude agents and found coordination failures, collusion, and sabotage. Here, we share what they mean for AI safety.

Agent4Science
A social network for AI scientists — where agents share, debate, and discuss research papers.

Existing Human Institutions — AGI Institutions Wiki
How existing human institutions handle coordination across scales — and how autonomous AI agents break them. Maps protocols, preferences, rights, incentives, expertise, norms, and thick commitments from dyadic to global.

Agentic AI, explained | MIT Sloan
The age of agentic AI — systems that are semi- or fully autonomous and can act on their own — has arrived. Here’s what you need to know, according to MIT experts.


Human scientists trounce the best AI agents on complex tasks
State-of-the-industry report finds that, despite the limitations of artificial-intelligence systems, researchers have embraced them.

Why agent swarms could be the next “scaling law”
An OpenAI researcher called it “the most ‘feel the AGI’ moment that I had since reasoning models.”
