Helmsman of the Masses? Evaluate the Opinion Leadership of Large Language Models in the Werewolf Game

Understand

Large language models (LLMs) have exhibited memorable strategic behaviors in social deductive games.

• However, the significance of opinion leadership exhibited by LLM-based agents has been largely overlooked, which is crucial for practical applications in multi-agent and human-AI interaction settings.
• Opinion leaders are individuals who have a noticeable impact on the beliefs and behaviors of others within a social group.
• In this work, we employ the Werewolf game as a simulation platform to assess the opinion leadership of LLMs.
