Single-turn emergency psychiatric triage across 15 frontier AI chatbots

AI chatbots recognized most psychiatric emergencies but still missed clinically important cases and frequently over-triaged less urgent presentations, and further evaluations should examine how triage performance changes when clinically relevant information must be elicited through conversation.

Gender bias across LLMs is common and highly heterogeneous

Bias auditing should be treated as an ongoing, multi-vendor process, rather than a one-time assessment, because gender-related biases are common in LLMs, but their direction and magnitude are highly heterogeneous, to the point that some models behave in diametrically opposite ways to others.

Designing a Boundary Negotiating Artifact for Collaborative Socio-Technical Sense-Making in AI Regulatory Sandboxes

A Boundary Negotiating Artifact is designed as a way to mediate meaning in AIRSes, providing an interface for the different stakeholders to collaborate in AI assessment and positioning it as technical backbone in established AIRS frameworks, structuring the collaborative sense-making of the involved stakeholders.

Towards Breaking the Learning System Wall Using Multimodal Tutoring Transcriptions

An AI-driven multimodal transcription system that processes screen-recording videos into unified screenplay-style transcripts containing audio dialogue and annotated learning log actions is introduced, offering initial steps towards generalizing log data across diverse systems.

How Much Prompt Is Enough? A Blackbox Minimization of Few-Shots in LLMs

By identifying which components are indispensable, \framework provides a principled basis for prompt compression and structural analysis of few-shot exemplars, and provides a principled basis for prompt compression and structural analysis of few-shot exemplars.

Accessible, but Not Adopted: Increasing LLM Adoption among First-generation, Low-income (FGLI) College Students beyond Expanding Access

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly positioned as a force to empower underserved communities, and significant efforts are being made to expand access. Yet, access alone does not equate to meaningful adoption. First, even if a system is accessible, it won't be adopted if users are not willing to adopt it. Seco...

PrivacySkills: How Privacy Guidance Shapes Source Selection in LLM Agents

PrivacySkills is introduced, a controlled framework for evaluating how agents choose among acquisition pathways that provide the same task-relevant value: consulting publicly available personal information, accessing confidential sources, or interacting with the user.

How to Run Statistics over LLM Judges and Trust the Results: Calibrated Inference for Small-Sample AI Evaluation with evalstats

To help researchers understand how to run statistics over LLM judges responsibly, guidance and tooling for the statistical analysis of mixed human-AI judge designs are presented, and recommendations for what CI, p-value, and FWER correction methods to use for small-sample AI evaluations are derived, and researchers are...

Evaluating the Effects of Prompt Perturbation on Bias and Hallucination in Large Language Models

It is shown that contrary to previous studies, perturbations can mitigate bias and hallucination in some LLMs over other models, and it's found that Claude 3 is more effective for the tasks represented in most datasets, whereas models like GPT3.5 exhibit varying levels of adequacy.

Bathtubs, Boundaries, and Sandboxes: AI Regulatory Learning Under Legal Uncertainty

It is argued that legal uncertainty cannot be fully reduced ex ante and that, within reasonable bounds, it is also necessary for regulatory learning because it creates the space in which boundary negotiation over socio-technical meaning can occur.

Rational Clarification by Assistive Agents via Value-of-Information Reasoning

Users of language-based assistive agents often make ambiguous requests. In response, an assistant can either directly act on its interpretation of the request --- risking misalignment with the user --- or ask a clarifying question. Which option is the most safe and helpful? A common approach is to ask questions that mi...

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.
