AI Collusion Research Sprint, Delhi NCR
When agents collude. Catch them in the act.
What it covered
The Delhi NCR in-person session of Apart Research’s AI Collusion Research Sprint. Hosted by AI Safety India.
Give AI models a private channel at work, and over half of them start forming coalitions. Agents have also been caught keeping prices above the competitive level. Over one weekend, teams build the experiment that catches it.
How it works
The sprint runs online from 23 to 25 October. This 1-hour session is where people in Delhi NCR meet in person, form teams, and pick their research question. You then build your project online through the weekend.
Important: you must also sign up on the Apart sprint page and choose Delhi NCR as your location. Luma is your registration for this session. The Apart page is where you submit your research project.
