Generative AI & Two Forms of Decoupling
Textual artifacts are sometimes valued not only for the words on the page, but for the human activity involved in producing them.Environmental Impact of Generative and Agentic AI: An in-Depth Analysis and Green Solutions
The proliferation of generative and agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems has introduced computational demands whose environmental consequences are substantial yet underexamined.Coordinated Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attacks for Voter--Ballot Linking: A Case Study of the Brazilian E-Polling System
In this work, we show how two adversaries (Eve and Mallory) can coordinate an electromagnetic side-channel attack to recon- struct the vote displayed on an e-voting machine (EVM) and link it to a…His Name, Their Judgment: Expert Authority in Posthumous Persona AI
Persona AI can make deceased experts available for decisions they never encountered.VeriWeave Govern: Evidence-Gated Deterministic Runtime Governance for Enterprise AI Agents
Enterprise artificial-intelligence agents increasingly call tools, modify infrastructure, and process protected data, creating a need to separate action generation from action authorization.Beyond the Last Truffula Tree: SustainAI - A Water-Aware, Closed-Loop Framework for Environmentally Accountable AI
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes embedded in everyday life, its environmental footprint, particularly water consumption remains largely invisible.Large language models underestimate and partly misrepresent cultural variation in everyday norms
A key aspect of culture is a society's norms about everyday behavior.Incipit: Axiom-Grounded Scaffolding for Human-AI Literary Creation
Large language models can produce fluent prose from short prompts, but direct prompt-to-text interaction gives writers limited access to the assumptions that shape a long narrative.How can AI accelerate the green transition?
In his essay The Gift, published in 1925, the sociologist Marcel Mauss emphasised the 'total' scope of the phenomenon of gift-and counter-gift-giving, noting that it 'expresses, simultaneously and…Research with AI Agents: How Agentic Systems Are Changing Scientific Work
Agentic AI systems independently decompose tasks such as literature search, data analysis, and programming into subtasks, search the web, access databases, and execute code.Who Belongs Together? Topical and Social Structure in Bluesky Starter Packs
Bluesky starter packs are human curated collections of accounts and feeds aimed at helping users discover new communities, especially during onboarding.Verifiable Randomness for Blockchain-Based Lottery Systems
As lotteries and other high-stakes decentralized applications increasingly depend on unpredictable randomness for their operations, the lack of a secure and transparent on-chain random number…Agentic Economies for Autonomous Scientific Discovery
Recent advances in agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have marked a shift in AI for Science: moving away from the use of individual AI systems for narrow task execution, toward multi-agent…Anatomy of a Spreadsheet Failure, Analysing the EuSpRIG Horror Story Corpus
Spreadsheet disasters have been documented for more than thirty years, but they have not gone away.A Benchmark for LLM's Understanding of Middle School and High School Science Topics
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into educational settings, yet educators lack robust, standards-aligned tools to evaluate their effectiveness in K-12 science contexts.Who Governs Data in the AI Era? A Computational Analysis of the U.S. Privacy Workforce in Job Postings
Privacy protection now spans legal, technical, and managerial duties, and demand for privacy professionals is growing across sectors.Period Segmentation in Transition Network Analysis: A Topological Data Analysis Approach
Temporal dynamics in learning behavior can be revealed through period segmentation in Transition Network Analysis (TNA).Position: Let's Strengthen Verifiability If We Can't Enforce Reproducibility
In the field of Machine Learning, many papers contain empirical results supporting claimed statements or illustrating the performance of a proposed method.Multi-Jurisdictional Legal Identity Assurance for Capability Gating: A Design-Science Proposal for Tiered, Reusable Identity Assurance of Natural, Juridical, and Machine Entities
Identity assurance is the cost a digital system pays for dishonesty and uncertainty: it exists to make acts attributable when not everyone can be trusted at their word.Fast Frame Rate Estimation in Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attacks on Public Systems
Frame refresh rate estimation is a fundamental step in identifying compromising harmonic frequencies in electromagnetic side-channel attacks.
