Google study reveals Chinese AI models develop collective intelligence through internal debates

Google researchers discovered that DeepSeek and Alibaba AI models exhibit collective intelligence by simulating internal debates among multiple agents. These models, termed "societies of thought," demonstrate that diverse perspectives and expertise, not just scale, drive AI advancement, highlighting the growing influence of Chinese open models. The study, published on arXiv and not yet peer-reviewed, suggests AI reasoning parallels human group problem-solving through structured diversity.
