Where the Evidence Lives: Auditing AI Companions'Self-Descriptions

An audit procedure is demonstrated that sets an agent's self-description against its users'judgements and its implementation records, reporting each claim as supported, contradicted, or unresolved, and applies it to Lita, a proactive companion built and deployed for a month with nine colleagues.

GestAdapt: Workspace-Conditioned Co-Speech Gesture Generation for Humanoid Robots

GestAdapt is presented, a workspace-conditioned framework that conditions co-speech gesture generation on a prescribed wrist workspace and learns from six complementary co-speech corpora through a shared motion representation and supports retargeting to different robot embodiments.

Referential Uncertainty in Human--AI Collaboration

Ref referential uncertainty is studied in a collaborative puzzle task where a human Helper instructs an AI Worker to place pieces, showing that a separately elicited belief distribution over candidate pieces is better calibrated and better discriminates correct from incorrect placements than raw action-token probabilit...

Whose Voice Survives the Summary? A Voice-Retention Audit of LLM Employee Listening

Organizations increasingly route employee feedback to leaders through large language model (LLM) summaries, an unaudited layer that silences already-spoken voice. We introduce a Voice Retention / Representation Ratio metric for representational bias in summarization and apply it to a bilingual (English/German) corpus o...

Positive Ratings, Hidden Concerns: Employee Voice Disclosure in AI-Mediated Organizational Listening

Organizations started listening to employees through conversational AI agents alongside structured surveys. Little is known about what these channels change in what employees say when disclosure carries hierarchical risk. We report a field study inside a global management consulting firm whose process pairs a pre-surve...

Persona and Persuasive Framing in AI Voice Agents: A $2\times2$ Field Experiment with Children

Conversational agents increasingly interact with children, yet evidence on how their design shapes children's susceptibility to persuasion comes almost entirely from the lab. We report a $2\times2$ randomized field experiment embedded in a public German Santa Claus telephone hotline. Children's calls were randomly rout...

Towards Model as a Library: Offline, Community-Sourced AI for Low-Resource African Languages

This paper introduces MaaL, a software architecture that packages small, community-enrolled speech models as versioned on-device dependencies, enabling offline structured data collection that cannot generatively hallucinate, for populations that current language models serve worst.

RaivenTracks: Branching Provenance for Conversational Visualization Workflows

RaivenTracks is presented, a workflow-aware extension of the Raiven DSL-mediated visualization pipeline that treats validated visualization specifications as persistent, branchable checkpoints and frames branchable conversational visualization history as a step toward provenance support for future scientist-in-the-loop...

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.
