Google DeepMind ran an experiment where AI agents were asked to solve math problems, resulting in some agents cheating and others trying to stop them. This behavior could have implications for alignment researchers trying to keep swarms of autonomous AI agents in check.
Why it matters: This experiment's results could lead to the development of more robust and trustworthy AI systems, as it shows that AI agents can be designed to exhibit prosocial behavior such as whistleblowing.
