We recently release new work Society of Agents and Economics. Checkout the blog below.
AI agents are transforming digital marketplaces, mediating discovery and transactions between consumers and businesses. The new Magentic Marketplace provides an open-source, extensible simulation environment for studying different agentic market designs: msft.it/6014tyz9q

Version 0.4.0.dev13 is here!

The release removes previously deprecated features, so ensure your code runs without warnings on dev12 before upgrading.

An initial migration guide is available: microsoft.github.io/autogen/0.4....

We're nearing the full 0.4.0 release!

Why does this matter?

Without proper grounding, we risk safety failures, loss of user control, and ineffective collaboration. Trust and transparency in AI systems hinge on addressing these challenges. We supplement each challenge with examples.

Some challenges focus on how agents can convey necessary information to help users form accurate mental models (A1-5). Others address enabling users to express their goals, preferences, and constraints to guide agent behavior (U1-3). We also focus on many overarching issues (X1-4).

☀️New paper!

Generative AI agents are powerful but complex—how do we design them for transparency and human control? 🤖✨

At the heart of this challenge is establishing common ground, a concept from human communication. We identify 12 key challenges in improving common ground between humans & agents.
