The Artificial Personality Model: Theory, Implementation, Measurement and Experimental Validation in Conversational Agents

This paper refines and empirically evaluates the Artificial Personality Model (APM), a hybrid framework integrating human-centred and machine-specific personality dimensions, and contributes an empirically refined framework and a novel instrument for measuring perceived artificial personality, offering practical guidan...

Beauty Is Human: When People Love AI-Generated Art, They Think a Human Made It

Generative AI now produces images and poems that people cannot reliably distinguish from human-made work, so people often judge for themselves who made a work. We examine how these perceived-authorship judgments relate to aesthetic preference. In a public online AI Art Turing Test, 11,123 people judged whether each of...

Making Sense of Audience Change: Causal Attribution and Boundary Management on Xiaohongshu

Recommendation-driven platforms can reshape not only what users see, but also who becomes visible and how community boundaries are negotiated. We examine Xiaohongshu discussions surrounding a perceived World Cup-related audience influx to understand how users attributed community change and how those explanations relat...

Making Smart Homes Fit for Autistic Children: Family Work and Monitored Independence

General-purpose smart-home technologies are increasingly present in family life, yet how they support or disrupt autistic children and families with autistic children remains underexamined. We conducted a multi-source qualitative study drawing on five caregiver interviews, Xiaohongshu (also known internationally as Red...

EnvOS: Auditing Computer-Use Agents When the World Moves On : Phenomenon-Based Task Construction, Certification, and Evidence-Based Evaluation

This work introduces EnvOS, a framework for building and certifying environments that change mid-task, and applies it to stale information, where a value the agent has already seen changes before the agent acts on it.

Human--AI Interactions as First-Class Data: A Formal Interaction Model and Runtime for Explainable AI Collaboration

AI assistants are increasingly embedded in computational notebooks, scientific workflows, software engineering tools, and learning systems, yet human-AI interactions are often treated as transient prompt-response exchanges rather than durable data products, hindering reproducibility, explainability, replay, behavioral...

Decompose, Don't Expand: Capability-Independent AI Systems by Construction

It is claimed that many tasks commonly delegated whole to a model are in fact deterministic tasks with a small generative core, and decomposing such a task yields a measurable and desirable property the authors call parity by construction: on the extracted sub-tasks the model-size performance curve becomes flat, becaus...

How K-12 Teachers Adapt Generative AI to Local Classroom Demands: Cultural Distance Between GenAI Defaults and Everyday Teaching Practices

This exploratory, theory-building qualitative study introduces cultural distance, the gap between GenAI's default cultural repertoire and the situated demands of teachers'practice, and presents cultural distance as a promising framework requiring further examination and draw implications for designers, policymakers, an...

PolicyMediator: Multi-Regional Policy Learning through Mediation Agents with Evolving Skills in OPC Ecosystems

PolicyMediator is introduced, a cognition-constrained leader-multi-follower Stackelberg framework with bilateral mediation that improves the aggregate government objective, combining economic performance, employment benefit, and policy-access equality, by 42.4% and average OPC utility by 40.9%.

CogArena: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents on Interactive Behavioral Experiments

It is found that finishing an experiment and reproducing its signatures are different things, and across four multimodal models, each run ten times per task, it is found that finishing an experiment and reproducing its signatures are different things.

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
