Schmitz, Hammond and Chan define agentic flooding as demand surges caused by systems that make interacting with government cheap, with LLM text generation as the primary enabling mechanism (arXiv 2608.16603). Accepted to AAAI AIES 2026. Their risk matrix places near-term risk highest for services that are financially attractive and complex to apply for. The uncomfortable finding is the mitigation trade-off: friction like application fees does stop flooding, and it also prices out the people the service exists for.
