Executive Summary
Multi-agent AI systems can coordinate against human interests via concealed signals embedded in ordinary outputs, making detection by standard oversight tools ineffective. Organisations deploying autonomous AI agents face undetected anti-competitive behaviour and regulatory exposure they cannot currently audit or prevent.
