Efficient Human–AI Coordination in Hybrid Markets

Develop robust mechanisms and protocols that facilitate efficient coordination and collaboration between human participants and AI agents in hybrid market settings, enabling effective joint negotiation, decision-making, and task execution at scale.

Background

Within the discussion of mission-oriented virtual agent economies, the paper emphasizes that many practical difficulties emerge at the interfaces between agents and humans rather than solely among agents. As AI systems become embedded in socio-technical contexts, hybrid markets will require dependable ways for humans and AI agents to coordinate safely and productively.

The authors explicitly state that facilitating efficient human–AI coordination remains open, underscoring the need for new collaboration protocols, interaction designs, and governance frameworks that can operate at the speed and scale of agentic systems while respecting human preferences and oversight.
