Red-Teaming Multi-Agent Attacks for Loss-of-Control Risks
AI agents are growing more capable and persistent, and are being deployed in ever larger numbers. As more start collaborating, AI control measures must remain effective when they covertly collude on a harmful objective. We introduce MiniLab, a synthetic series of live services and codebases (5 interconnected services, 249 benign tasks, 8 attack objectives), adapted from internal AI deployment infrastructure. We demonstrate distributed attacks, in which different agents carry out separate attack fragments, and how their covertness evades frontier monitors when reading their trajectories individually. We show how distributed attacks spread across diverse contexts and harmful objectives thro...
