"So There's a Catch-22 Here": How Early Adopters Who Build Multi-Agent LLM Systems Conceptualize Transparency
arXiv:2606.08323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems are rapidly emerging, yet transparency, a cornerstone of responsible AI, remains under-defined in these distributed architectures, which have complexities of inter-agent coordination and orchestration. In this paper, we present one of the first empirical study of how early adopters of multi-agent LLM systems, who are both the builders and users, understand and practice transparency. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 early adopters in [Large Technology Organization] and applied themati
The rapid emergence of multi-agent LLM systems necessitates an immediate understanding of transparency challenges to inform responsible AI development.
This study highlights the unresolved issues of transparency in complex AI architectures, crucial for ethical deployment and regulatory frameworks.
The empirical understanding of transparency from early adopters will directly influence how multi-agent LLM systems are designed, audited, and governed.
