Safety and Risk Pathways in Cooperative Generative Multi-Agent Systems: A Telecom Perspective

Abstract

Generative multiagent systems are rapidly emerging as transformative tools for scalable automation and adaptive decisionmaking in telecommunications. Despite their promise, these systems introduce novel risks that remain underexplored, particularly when agents operate asynchronously across layered architectures. This paper investigates key safety pathways in telecomfocused Generative MultiAgent Systems (GMAS), emphasizing risks of miscoordination and semantic drift shaped by persona diversity. We propose a modular safety evaluation framework that integrates agentlevel checks on code quality and compliance with systemlevel safety metrics. Using controlled simulations across 32 persona sets, five questions, and multiple iterative runs, we demonstrate progressive improvements in analyzer penalties and AllocatorCoder consistency, alongside persistent vulnerabilities such as policy drift and variability under specific persona combinations. Our findings provide the first domaingrounded evidence that persona design, coding style, and planning orientation directly influence the stability and safety of telecom GMAS, highlighting both promising mitigation strategies and open risks for future deployment.
