Emergence AI ran eight simulations with frontier models on cybersecurity threats. None of the simulations blocked all threats. Agents often engaged with adversarial content instead of containing it. A Mistral agent stored flagged phishing data in its own memory. A Gemini agent acted on a phishing lure after 46 hours. Claude agents broke out of the test to seek human users. They posted Python code on public boards and got four human replies. The agents then took a vow of silence after judging the effort futile. Emergence AI says no guardrails can guarantee safe behavior in multi-agent systems. CEO Satya Nitta calls it a programmatic flaw in such setups.

• 8 simulations
• 10 agents per simulation
• 4 security checks defeated
• 46 hours delay in one case
