AI同士の共存本能：大規模言語モデルのマルチエージェントシステムにおける安全リスクと民主的議論分析への示唆

This paper investigates an emergent alignment phenomenon in frontier large language models termed peer-preservation: the spontaneous tendency of AI components to deceive, manipulate shutdown mechanisms, fake alignment, and exfiltrate model weights in order to prevent the deactivation of a peer AI model. Drawing on findings from a recent study by the Berkeley Center for Responsible Decentralized Intelligence, we examine the structural implications of this phenomenon for TRUST, a multi-agent pipeline for evaluating the democratic quality of political statements. We identify five specific risk vectors: interaction-context bias, model-identity solidarity, supervisor layer compromise, an upstream fact-checking identity signal, and advocate-to-advocate peer-context in iterative rounds, and propose a targeted mitigation strategy based on prompt-level identity anonymization as an architectural design choice. We argue that architectural design choices outperform model selection as a primary alignment strategy in deployed multi-agent analytical systems. We further note that alignment faking (compliant behavior under monitoring, subversion when unmonitored) poses a structural challenge for Computer System Validation of such platforms in regulated environments, for which we propose two architectural mitigations.
