User Perceptions vs. Proxy LLM Judges: Privacy and Helpfulness in LLM Responses to Privacy-Sensitive Scenarios

The need for more user-centered studies to measure LLMs'ability to help users while preserving privacy, and for improving alignment between LLMs and users in estimating perceived privacy and utility, is discussed.

Discovering High Level Patterns from Simulation Traces

It is shown that translating simulation traces to a sparse representation of "high-level"structural patterns leads to more effective interpretation by LLMs, and an unsupervised learning scheme to perform this translation, or annotation, via program synthesis is proposed.

GazeFS: Target-Centered Gaze-Trajectory Forecasting and Stabilization from Gaze-Head History

GazeFS improves Focus target centering and empirical residual contraction while leaving temporal smoothness as a separate objective and introduces GazeFS, which maps a variable-length gaze-head history to the next target-center direction and a short-horizon Search/Focus estimate without target information at inference.

Reducing Catastrophic Risk from AI with Systematic Monitoring and Evaluation of Rogue AI Progression

A structured framework of behavioral indicators that may signal progression toward potentially catastrophic threats from artificial intelligence systems is presented, inspired by established methodologies in cybersecurity and national security.

Govern the Model, Not Only the Data: Storage, Circulation, and Learning in Creative AI

It is argued that federation is not in itself a remedy for extractive AI, because outcomes depend on who governs the data and the model and who has agency over the practices that shape them, and four design principles for a creative data commons are proposed.

Transfiver: Human-AI Co-Inference through a Shared Editable State

The TRANSparent Framework for Interactive, Verifiable, Editable Representation (Transfiver) is introduced, an architecture for human-AI co-inference through a shared editable state that separates shared parameters from the persistent state, which evolves during deployment without parameter retraining.

Learning from 53.6K Real-World Developer Edits of AI-Generated Code

DECODE (Developer Edits of Code Dataset), a dataset of 53.6K real-world in-IDE code edits of AI-generated code in Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript, is introduced, and finetuning on DECODE enables open-source 3B models to perform code edit prediction tasks significantly better than frontier LLMs.

Assistant or Actor? Student Trust, Control, and Delegation Regret When Using a General-Purpose AI Agent

In a controlled study, 20 university students completed five common daily tasks using OpenClaw, a general-purpose AI agent, across tasks chosen to vary in privacy, stakes, and reversibility, and found delegation regret appeared consistently when the agent executed actions without preview, even when the output was rated...

Personality Without Persons? A Psychometric Critique of Big Five Testing in Large Language Models

It is demonstrated that Big Five inventories do not measure a construct equivalent to human personality in LLMs, highlighting the need for evaluation frameworks that are specifically designed and validated for LLMs, rather than transferring human psychological constructs without first establishing their validity.

Who embraces AI in play? Exploratory modeling of player preference profiles toward game AI

This study applies Archetypal Analysis to standardized acceptance ratings across eight representative AI application contexts in games to provide an exploratory empirical vocabulary for segmenting game AI audiences and offers preliminary design implications for more context-sensitive and player-sensitive AI integration...

Understanding Listener Perceptions of AI and Human-Composed Music in Emotional Applications

This work investigates how listener perception of AI-generated versus human-composed music affects emotional resonance and regulation and challenges the assumption that preference alone defines system success, highlighting design implications for affective and wellness technologies that foreground authenticity, transpa...

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.
