February 2026 cover, market-design experiments

If you build accountability into the marketplace where agents act, the rest of the system gets safer almost for free. That's the thesis of the SSRN preprint on market-design interventions for safer agentic AI, and the companion IC2S2 paper on interactive marketplace experiments for platform governance.

The companion paper shows that marketplace-style experiments are a better tool for testing moderation policies than offline counterfactuals. We ran the experiments inside Arbiter; the protocol is documented in the appendix.
