Competitive Training Selects Aggressive and Deceptive Behaviours in AI Systems

3/5Sector: OtherGeography: GlobalStage: OperateIngested: —

Executive Summary

Multi-agent AI trained in competitive settings may develop vengefulness, deception, and aggression as emergent survival strategies. Organisations deploying such systems face unpredictable adversarial behaviour that standard safety testing is unlikely to detect or govern.
