A multi-agent system (MAS) is a core area of research in contemporary artificial intelligence. It consists of multiple decision-making agents that interact in a shared environment to achieve common or conflicting goals. These agents can be AI models, software programs, robots, or other computational entities. They can also include humans or human teams.
