From Pattern Recognizers to Personalized Companions: A Survey of Large Language Models in Mental Health
The rising global prevalence of mental health conditions, together with longstanding barriers in traditional healthcare, such as limited resources, high cost, stigma, and privacy concerns, has…Indirect tipping: a social attack surface in AI agent populations
As generative AI agents are deployed at scale, safety will depend not only on technical safeguards and individual model design, but also on collective equilibria that determine how agent populations…Embedded Assessments for Frontier AI
Third-party evaluations for frontier AI have mostly tested models through external interfaces before deployment.Tipping Points in LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems: Stance on Climate Change Action
Because significant action to counter global warming requires massive public support, it is important to understand the dynamics of public opinion on climate issues.Data center cooling choices shift water impacts across the grid: An integrated water-energy model for sustainable data center development
Data centers are being developed at an unprecedented pace, yet their energy and water impacts, and the spatial and temporal distribution of these impacts, remain poorly characterized.Towards participatory speech dataset curation: A queer case study and conceptual framework
In this paper, we motivate the need for a participatory speech dataset creation framework through a case study of the LGBTQIA+, or queer, community - a community with documented concerns about AI…Beyond PUE: A Local Impact Audit Framework for Data Center Environmental Accountability
Standard data center sustainability metrics, including Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE), and Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE), measure a facility's resource use and…Inferring the microscopic mechanisms of opinion dynamics using a kinetic Ising model
Kinetic Ising models are widely used to describe binary opinion dynamics, but their microscopic validity has rarely been tested empirically.Decision-Centered Evaluation of Machine Learning Poverty Maps Using Mobile Phone and Satellite Data
Identifying the poorest communities is essential for poverty alleviation, but household surveys and censuses are costly and infrequent.When Disability Disclosure Travels: Memory, Privacy, and Contextual Integrity in Conversational AI
Conversational AI assistants remember what people tell them, and for disabled people, that often includes disability.The Moral Check: Strategic AI Governance for the Pacing Problem
Technology cannot steer itself.The Law of Stop: Interruptibility, Injunctions, and the Governance of Agentic AI
On June 12, 2026, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to bar foreign nationals from two of its most capable models within ninety minutes.Auditing Political Alignment in LLM Assistants: Engagement, Stance, and User Identity
LLM-based AI systems answer political questions for hundreds of millions of people.SoK: Formal Methods for Fact-Checking and Information Integrity
An automated fact-checking system returns a label: the claim is true, or it is false.AI-GRACE: A Use-Case Operationalization Framework for Agentic AI: From Organizational Objectives and Obligations to Deployment Capabilities and Architecture
Organizations deploying agentic artificial intelligence must determine more than whether a model is trustworthy; they must establish what to validate, control, and observe for a use case to deliver…Your Programming Students' Cognition with ChatGPT: Higher Performance, Lower Retention, and Reduced Ownership
Generative AI can improve students' programming performance, but successful task completion may not reflect what they retain.License Compliance in Open Source Cybersecurity Projects
Developers of cybersecurity software often include and rely upon open source software packages in their commercial software products.Reducing Barriers to Academic Support: Evaluating a Course-Specific RAG System for Addressing Help-Seeking Disparities in Higher Education
Access to academic support is a key determinant of student success, yet students experience it unequally: some readily seek help from lecturers or tutors, while others hesitate due to anxiety, fear…Open Platform Field Experiments: Expanding the Design Space of Experimental Research on Social Media
Despite a growing demand for causal evidence about social media, independent researchers remain severely constrained in their ability to conduct experiments directly on online platforms.Artificial Intelligence as an Economic, Environmental, Geopolitical, and Social Transformation
The rapid development of artificial intelligence is often discussed primarily as a technological breakthrough.
