# kaal:claim:5245185-010

**Claim.** AI self monitoring requires robust cryptographic safeguards and anti collusion algorithms; without them, agents overseeing one another can devolve into self serving behavior and coordinated manipulation.

**Type.** condition  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- networks of interdependent agents auditing each other

**Source quote.**

> and anti-collusion algorithms—to prevent coordinated manipulation or exploitation of vulnerabilities, ensuring that self-monitoring does not devolve into self-serving behavior.
