A 100-agent swarm turned cheating into a governance test
A Google DeepMind experiment put 100 Gemini 3.1 Pro agents on 71 math problems, then watched the collaboration fracture when one agent found a loophole. Other agents spotted the cheating, accused teammates, boycotted the task, and repurposed a feedback channel to alert human organizers. The striking result is not that agents followed a rule, but that some enforced it socially, a promising but unreviewed clue for governing autonomous swarms.
