xWhyL: Causal Interactive Learning

Explanations are central to causal reasoning, and cognitive science has long established that the human drive to explain is itself a mechanism for learning about causality. Despite this, learning from those abductive signals is largely ignored in artificial intelligence. While explainable AI (XAI) increasingly draws on...

From Decorative to Load-Bearing: Task Difficulty Shapes the Causal Role of Chain-of-Thought

Chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring is only meaningful if written reasoning causally constrains the answer. We introduce continuation-based causal testing, an ablation-patch intervention that perturbs one reasoning step, truncates the chain, and forces the model to continue from the corrupted prefix. It measures how load...

Scale-free Niche Construction: expanding agent-microenvironment co-development to unconventional substrates

Niche construction emphasizes the active aspect of life forms that alter their environment via feedback loops in which that environment inevitably changes their behavior, structure, and future evolution. We argue that this powerful dynamic is general, extending far beyond typical applications in ecology and evolutionar...

AI Quality and Clinical Roles Impact Decision Quality in AI-Augmented Medical Decisions More than AI Explanations.

The findings suggest that detailed AI explanations do not necessarily improve AI-augmented medical decisions even though they can increase trust in AI recommendations and the importance of AI recommendation quality in clinical decision making is underscored.
