Detecting Covert Collusion between AI Agents through Partner-Outsider Positive Listening
View original on arxiv.orgOverview
arXiv:2610.37849v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents that share a secret convention can coordinate through messages that look innocent, so a monitor that reads only the messages can miss them. We propose a behavioural test: a partner that uses a code reacts to the exact wording of a message, whereas an uninvolved agent placed in its seat does not. Partner--Outsider Positive Listening (PoPLi) is the difference between the two agents in how much their action changes when the message is reword
