[Anthropic Reportedly Exploring AI Agent Negotiation Rules, Seeking Legal Advice] According to a report by Jinse Finance on October 18, citing the Financial Times, Anthropic is engaging with legal professionals to explore solutions to a new issue: how AI agents should negotiate to secure the most favorable terms for human users. With the rise of personal AI agents, AI companies are beginning to envision a future where different agents can communicate with each other and negotiate on behalf of users. Two individuals familiar with Anthropic's internal discussions revealed that the company is seeking advice from law firms to better understand how lawyers represent client interests during negotiations while ensuring fair outcomes. Sources indicated that the company has been researching "negotiation norms" that AI models should follow when interacting with one another. As the capabilities of agent systems continue to advance, they will increasingly act "on behalf of users" while encountering other agents with "conflicting objectives." Anthropic is also weighing how much human feedback agents should seek during negotiations and to what extent agents should remain vigilant toward other AI agents, while avoiding becoming "paranoid" or falling into "conspiratorial thinking."
