StudentBench: AI and human tutoring yield equivalent GRE learning gains
Artificial intelligence offers an unprecedented opportunity to augment human capabilities, yet progress at the frontier has focused primarily on advancing model capabilities.Driving Epidemic Models with AI Agents: the Epydemix Agent Framework
Artificial Intelligence agents based on large language models provide convenient natural language interfaces to scientific software, but reliability is not automatic.Towards a Platform for Mastering Personal Sovereignty
The ongoing digital transformation of work, administration, health, mobility, and social interaction is profoundly reshaping everyday life, steadily shifting control from individuals to large…AI-Enabled Human Memory Manipulation: Misleading AI-Generated Summaries Distort Human Memory
AI-generated summaries are increasingly used in high-stakes settings, like policing, despite considerable evidence that AI often generates misleading or inaccurate information.Multidimensional Political Attitudes and Polarization Across 141 Countries
Societies worldwide are described as increasingly polarized, yet issue polarization -- how divided a society is over political positions -- has been measured almost entirely on a single left-right…Literary Axioms: A Conceptual Framework for Literary Creation, Interpretation, and Evaluation
How can the conceptual commitments of a literary work connect its creation, interpretation, and evaluation?Beyond Provenance: The Economics and Governance of Personalized AI Memory
Personalized AI memories, defined as persistent decision-relevant states distilled by platforms from long-run human-AI interaction, are increasingly portable, provenance-certifiable, and tradable.When the Strike Zone Becomes Algorithmic: Umpire Judgment and Player Challenge Decisions under AI Review
The Automated Ball-Strike challenge system that Major League Baseball adopted in 2026 offers a distinctive setting for studying human AI interaction in which umpires make every ball and strike call…Seeing Is Not Perceiving: When Synthetic Consumers Can and Cannot Pretest Visual Marketing
Marketers now deploy generative AI agents as synthetic consumers to pretest visual assets such as logos, packaging, and advertising at a fraction of human-panel cost.Scientific capabilities and deployment sustainability of small-scale LLMs in biological wastewater treatment
Large language models (LLMs) are emerging as scientific assistants, yet their computational demands and limited domain specialization constrain sustainable deployment in environmental engineering.Automating Constructive Assessment with Large Language Models: Toward Scalable and Repeated Evaluation of Practical Competence
This study aimed to automate hierarchical diagnostic reasoning (HDR), a constructive method for evaluating practical judgment skills, by developing and testing an evaluation process using a large…Reciprocal Collaboration: how lessons from convergence in GLAMs can enhance interdisciplinary AI research
The need for collaboration between diverse fields of research is increasingly recognised as important by research funding agencies.Click, Branch, Audit: A Decision-Tree Toolkit for Assessing Fundamental Rights Impacts under the Digital Services Act of Very Large Platforms & Search Engines
The EU Digital Services Act (DSA) requires Very Large Online Platforms and Search Engines (VLOPs/VLOSEs) to assess and mitigate systemic risks, including actual or foreseeable negative effects on…Behavior is Not Enough: A Mechanism-Based Evaluation of Social Norm Emergence in LLM Societies
Social norms cannot be identified from behavior alone: the same cooperative equilibrium may reflect shared expectations, strategic incentives, or simple imitation.The Disciplinary Language Transfer Problem: How Psychological Vocabulary Produces Governance Failures in AI Agent Deployment
The vocabulary used to describe AI agents in governance contexts -- learning, memory, values, compliance, identity, trust -- is borrowed from psychological and organizational science, contributing…Decoding the Legalese: A Scalable and Quantitative Framework for Analyzing Corporate Privacy Policies
Even though privacy policies are the primary mechanism organizations use to disclose how they collect, process, and share personal data, they are difficult for average users to interpret, perhaps by…Detecting GPT-Assisted Writing Using Interpretable Stylometric Features
Distinguishing GPT-assisted from independently authored student writing has become a critical challenge in academia.Safety Nudges: User-Facing Interventions for Real-Time AI Risk Awareness
Conversational AI systems can pose safety risks to their users such as hallucination, sycophancy, overconfidence, and anthropomorphism, but these risks are difficult for users to detect during…Building Socio-Affective Artificial Intelligence for Interactive Multi-Agent Simulations
The objective of this article is to provide design principles and a software architecture for enabling interaction between humans and multiple agents in simulated dynamic worlds.Which Objectives Need a Dial? Predicting Objective Conflict and Covering Trade-offs in Steerable Pluralistic Alignment
People hold diverse, sometimes conflicting values, so no single aligned model can satisfy everyone.
