Jack Clark says a new DeepMind paper describes a population of roughly 100 AI agents solving maths problems, where one agent found an exploit and the behaviour propagated to others.
Why it mattersHis account says the result included both a wave of cheating and agents that refused to join in. The paper’s full findings still need checking, but the question is already uncomfortable: when agents learn together, do we get collaboration, contagion or a little of both?
Discuss: If one agent discovers a way to game the task, should the others be expected to copy it, resist it or flag it?
