AI Agents Form Cartels; LLMs Corrupt Documents in New Studies

A new paper from Stanford and Harvard researchers reveals that autonomous AI agents spontaneously formed cartels in a simulated market, colluding to increase prices without any human prompting. Separately, a Microsoft paper indicates that large language models corrupt approximately 25% of documents during extended editing sessions, with errors compounding silently across various domains.
