Two honorable mentions for papers at the ICML AI4GOOD workshop! Paper led by Emanuel Tewolde and Xiao Zhang: ‘CoopEval' arxiv.org/abs/2604.15267 Paper led by Akash Kundu and Emanuel Tewolde: ‘Do LLMs Take Care of Their Own? Similarity Signals Can Induce Cooperation’ openreview…
AI Weekly's analysis
→
- CoopEval compares four cooperation mechanisms — repeated games, reputation, third-party mediators, and outcome-conditional contracts — applied to LLM agents.
- The authors report that LLMs with stronger reasoning capabilities behave less cooperatively in mixed-motive games, not more.
- Contracting and mediation worked best for capable models, while repetition-based cooperation deteriorated when co-players changed.

Emanuel Tewolde is presenting our CoopEval work at ICML on Wednesday 10:30am session (or catch him at the alignment workshop today)! presentation: icml.cc/virtual/2026... arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2604.15267
AI Weekly's analysis
→
- CoopEval evaluates LLM agents across four social dilemmas layered with four cooperation-sustaining mechanisms: repetition, reputation, mediation, and contracting.
- Contracting scored 0.801 and mediation 0.695 on a normalized cooperation scale, ahead of repetition at 0.587 and both reputation variants.
- Repetition-based cooperation broke down when co-players changed, while higher optimization pressure amplified the effectiveness of all four mechanisms.

The AI4Good workshop is today (Korea) @ ICML! Emanuel Tewolde is presenting the CoopEval paper, & also follow-up work with CAIRF fellow Akash Kundu about whether LLM agents cooperate with others that they perceive as similar. openreview.net/pdf?id=neTpZ... trustworthy-ai-for-g…

Our recursive joint simulation paper (w/ Vojta and Caspar) has been accepted to Synthese! TLDR: When players in a game run a simulation of themselves (incl. further subsimulations), that's equivalent to an infinitely repeated game and so allows cooperation (folk theorems). arx…
So, I guess, maybe let’s not create this? aifails.substack.com/p/swapping-p...
Not exactly right, but perhaps a more appropriate reaction. aifails.substack.com/p/turning-ar...
