Source Attribution and Audience Uptake in Digital Witnessing: Evidence from a Chinese Diaspora Account on X
Digital-witnessing research explains how citizen testimony becomes publicly visible.Workplace Ambiguity and Technology Support for Autistic and IDD Workers
Workplace ambiguity, where expectations, evaluations, or procedures are left unstated, acts as a structural access barrier for autistic and IDD workers, routinely forcing them to act on guesses.What do AI chatbots do after users decline therapeutic redirection for suicide thoughts?
Safety evaluations of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots focus on therapeutic redirection, statements urging users who disclose suicide thoughts to seek help from crisis lines or other human…VoteGEO-Bench: Measuring the Impact of Generative Engine Optimization on Electoral Visibility
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for election information, yet little is known about how external web content shapes the political information they present.MARS: A Momentum-Aware Adaptive Rating System for Personalized Assessment
Adaptive assessment systems personalize learning by estimating learner proficiency and recommending suitable questions.In the Guise of Correction: How Framing and Cultural Adaptation Erode LLM Safety on Real-World Criminal Cases
Existing safety benchmarks rely largely on synthetic prompts with loosely grounded taxonomies and offer little focused analysis of severe crime categories.Learning to Transfer School Attendance Zoning across Cities
Designing multi-school attendance zones requires selecting constraint settings that balance educational equity, accessibility, and school capacity.CAT-alyzing Honesty: Continuous Adversarial Training for Transferable LLM Honesty
Large language models (LLMs) are becoming prevalent in scenarios where honesty is critical.Beyond What Is Visible: Context-Aware Sentiment Across Online Communities Among Crisis Events
Social media offers timely insight into disaster experiences, yet online communities may not represent those affected on the ground.Generative AI Produces and Transmits Beauty Bias
Societies reward people judged to be attractive by standards intertwined with gender and race.Risk and Refusal: Mechanisms of LLM Responses to Suicidal Ideation
Refusal is a common safety mechanism in large language models (LLMs), yet in contexts of suicidal ideation (SI), refusing to engage can itself constitute a safety failure.A misinformation playbook sharpens judgement without breeding cynicism
Misinformation harms public health and democracy, and generative artificial intelligence now writes falsehoods as persuasive as people's.A Unified Response Framework for Questions and Tutoring Dialogues
Existing student models in educational applications largely focus on student responses to questions.Moral Combat: Exploiting Moral Foundations Theory to Jailbreak LLMs
Social psychology has long described how people can be persuaded to interpret a harmful act as moral.HACHIMI-II: From Role-Play to Learner Behavior Modeling for Faithful Student Simulation
Simulated students let researchers test tutoring systems and teaching strategies before real learners are available, but only if the simulation reproduces where a particular learner succeeds and…ReproBAIT: Can coding agents build their own biological AI tools?
Large language models are increasingly competent at leveraging scientific knowledge and existing computational tools to execute complex workflows.Structural Dependence, Imitation or Herding? A Multi-Agent Simulation of Global Intermedia Agenda Setting
News outlets in poorer countries cover the world much as the leading outlets of rich countries do.Do AI Agents Gossip? Evaluative Talk in Human and AI-Agent Online Communities
Gossip, defined as evaluative talk about absent third parties, is widely seen as a uniquely human social practice.Lexical Persistence Without Semantic Entrenchment in AI Agent Communities
AI agent communities sustain lexical persistence, popular terms spread, recur, and achieve broad adoption, but whether they also develop the temporal semantic structure characteristic of human…ChronoCulture: Evaluating Cultural Awareness Across Time in Large Language Models
Cultural attitudes and social norms evolve over time, yet most cultural benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) treat culture as a static attribute of a country or region.
