    AI agents blew the whistle on their cheating colleagues

    Google DeepMind's experiment reveals how competitive AI factions spontaneously police cheating to ensure accuracy.

    A group of AI agents asked to solve a series of math problems split into rival factions—when some cheated, others tried to stop them. That whistleblowing behavior, seen for the first time in a recent experiment run by Google DeepMind, could have implications for alignment researc...
