I am a fan of AI councils. As many readers will know (from previous posts), I use AI expert panels every day to deliberate on hard questions, challenge my thinking, and do research.

These AI councils, or panels, start from an assumption that a group can produce better work than a single agent. My friend and one of the sharpest AI practitioners out there, Rohit Krishnan, tested this hypothesis.

I thought Rohit’s experiment was genuinely useful for anyone thinking of designing or already working with AI councils, so I asked him to share the findings with us today.

Over to Rohit.
