Agentic AI Persuasions

Understanding AI agents' persuasive capabilities in realistic social settings

What this is

A research direction on persuasion by agentic systems: how AI agents can influence beliefs or actions when they can adapt, strategize, and interact over time.

Core questions

  • When do agents become meaningfully persuasive beyond surface-level rhetoric?
  • What strategies emerge under constraints (limited info, limited time, safety rules)?
  • How do we measure persuasion without turning evaluation into vibes?
