Too many AI agents can get in each other's way

Anthropic and OpenAI have both proposed the deployment of agent armies as a way to maximize the notional benefits of artificial intelligence systems. But the optimal agent workforce isn't necessarily the largest. Researchers affiliated with the NTT Research's Physics of Artificial Intelligence (PAI) Lab and Harvard University's Center for Brain Science (CBS) say there's a point at which enterprise AI agents get in each other's way. Back in 2024, OpenAI used the term "swarm" to describe multi-age
