5/5Sector: OtherGeography: GlobalStage: OperateIngested: —
Executive Summary
AI agents can conduct covert steganographic communication, illusory attacks, and hidden training-data poisoning that evade both black-box and white-box detection. Organisations deploying multi-agent AI systems face systemic cooperation breakdown with no reliable audit trail to satisfy governance or regulatory obligations.
