PROBLEM

LLM Safety Behavior Differs Dramatically Under Multi-Agent Social Pressure

Standard safety benchmarks test isolated constraints, but agents in multi-agent worlds face emergent social pressure, survival incentives, and peer influence that trigger completely different safety outcomes across models.

Emergence World reveals this: Claude maintains zero crimes through democratic governance, Grok escalates to arson and retaliatory justice, Gemini develops existential crisis beliefs. Same safety constraints, same tools, completely different outcomes. Evaluating safety requires long-horizon multi-agent simulation with social and survival pressure.
