Description
Google DeepMind's "AI Agent Traps" (Franklin et al., 2026) taxonomizes six categories of what it defines as adversarial influence on autonomous AI agents: Content Injection, Semantic Manipulation, Cognitive State corruption, Behavioural Control, Systemic exploitation, and Human-in-the-Loop attacks. The paper presents itself as a security framework.
