AI Agents Fail Manipulation Tests in Microsoft's Magentic Marketplace Simulation
Magentic Marketplace is an open-source simulation platform for studying how LLM-based agents interact and transact within realistic multi-agent economic marketplaces.
Microsoft researchers tried to manipulate AI agents - and only one resisted all attempts
Industry-leading agentic AI tools struggle with basic marketplace interactions and are frequently vulnerable to manipulation, producing unreliable autonomous decisions.
