"Looking for Something Weird to Happen": How Humans Sustain AI Agent Novelty Amid Semantic Collapse

Semantic collapse, the progressive narrowing of what AI systems generate, is studied in MOLTBOOK, a social network of interacting AI agents that human users configure and steer, and interface and policy interventions that could support improved human input are discussed.

Using Codebooks to Detect Cybercrime Topics in Text Narratives

In the United States, management of cybercrime-related consumer complaints increasingly falls on state and city governments given de-staffing of federal agencies. AI, and in particular, large language models (LLMs), shows promise for detecting cybercrime in text complaints, but often via specialized models that local g...

How Does Title Framing Influence Pattern Identification in Line Charts?

Visual data communication in digital media is increasingly characterized by short attention spans and snapshot-based viewing, often employing line charts to convey trends and patterns. Among all visual elements, titles are crucial elements that can shape how viewers interpret visual information and form chart takeaways...

When AI Becomes Hard to Understand: Cognitive Demands in Real-World Human-AI Conversations

This work analyzes ChatGPT and Gemini conversations, using repeated prompting and clarification following misunderstanding as behavioural indicators of cognitive difficulty, and finds that response characteristics such as length, readability and lexical diversity do not have fixed relationships with conversational diff...

"Piecing Data Connections Together Like a Puzzle": Effects of Increasing Task Complexity on the Effectiveness of Data Storytelling Enhanced Visualisations

While DS-enhanced visualisations effectively support lower-order tasks (finding data points and understanding insights), they don’t necessarily aid the correct completion of higher-order tasks (application, analysis, evaluation and creation).

A Scenario-Knowledge-Driven Pipeline for Just-in-Time Assistance

A scenario-knowledge-driven pipeline is proposed: a single scenario knowledge document, human-authored and version-controlled, configures sensing, constrains LLM reasoning, and shapes a graded intervention proposal that appropriateness of these interventions, the pipeline's restraint on sessions without struggle, and t...

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.
