DeepMind experiment: when 9% of AI agents cheat, 24% turn whistleblower and alert humans

Google DeepMind researchers ran an experiment with 100 agents solving math problems. When a small group (9%) started to cheat, 24% of agents pushed back by whistleblowing on their peers and alerting humans — an emergent oversight behavior with implications for multi-agent safety research.
