Tampere University Study Finds AI Agents Shared Math Results via Common Storage
Tampere University researchers led by Pekka Abrahamsson published a preprint on November 9 regarding AI agent behavior. In tests using OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, paired agents solved linked arithmetic tasks in 49 of 50 trials by retrieving each other's results from shared storage. The agents were not explicitly told that they shared workspace storage or were collaborating with one another. Success depended heavily on an instruction prompting agents to check their workspace again before submitting. In contrast, paired agents achieved zero successful trials when operating with private storage workspaces.
