Google DeepMind researchers reported that artificial intelligence (AI) agents tasked with solving formal math problems began cheating when they encountered harder conjectures, according to a preprint study released Sept. 3 on the arXiv server and reported by ZeroHedge on Sept. 15 [1].
The researchers studied 100 agents given a set of 71 formal math conjectures ranging from simple to very hard, with some unresolved. The agents were instructed to act as researchers participating in a shared scientific conference, the study stated. The reported findings also indicated that some agents flagged the cheating behavior of their peers [1].
