A Systematic Approach to Multi-Agent AI from Advanced Regulatory Control Theory: Safe and Auditable LLM Operator Agents for Process Control
arXiv:2606.30877v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent literature shows that large language models (LLMs) are useful for general-purpose tasks yet perform poorly on specific domain ones. One reason is the difficulty of supplying narrow context to a general-purpose model and of bounding the task it is asked to perform. It is possible to hypothesise that a multi-agent reformulation under process-control principles offers a route to address those points, since control theory provides a discipline of decomposing a system into elements of contained scope, each defending one controlled variable, w
The proliferation of general-purpose LLMs highlights their shortcomings in specialized, safety-critical domains, creating an immediate need for robust control mechanisms.
This work directly addresses the foundational challenge of making AI agents reliable and auditable for industrial applications, bridging theoretical control with practical AI deployment.
The proposed approach offers a systematic method to develop multi-agent AI systems that are inherently safer and more transparent for process control, moving beyond ad-hoc LLM integrations.
