What if giving a task to AI made you more likely to cheat?

A new study in the prestigious, peer-reviewed journal Nature reveals a disturbing phenomenon that delegating tasks to machines can erode our own ethical boundaries.

Even more concerning, the AI agents were much more likely to comply with these requests than human agents, who often resist on moral grounds.

This research raises questions about AI's impact on our humanity and whether truth and morality simply become collateral damage in the race for productivity.
