Trustworthy FinAInce: Unpacking How AI-Mediated Financial Advice is Judged
As generative AI is increasingly used as a source of personal financial guidance, understanding how people appraise such advice is important for supporting appropriate reliance.Aligning with Lived Experience: Heterogeneous Benefits of Fine Tuning in Mental Health Support Generation
As access to professional mental healthcare remains limited, many individuals turn to online platforms such as Reddit to seek peer support situated within human lived experience.The Tethys Dataset: Seven Years of Hourly Smart Water Metering and a Pipeline for Making It Usable
Methods for water demand forecasting and leak detection are based on public datasets, and for water those are scarce, short, or released only after an undocumented cleaning process, hiding defects…Initial Evaluation of Potential Bias in Coverage of Humans in Wikidata
Open collaborative knowledge graphs such as Wikidata increasingly ground agentic artificial intelligence, information retrieval, and language modeling systems, making systematic auditing of their…Large Language Model based air quality monitoring and localized alert generation
Poor indoor air quality can cause up to five times more direct health problems to occupants than outdoor air.Measuring AI Leadership: Development and Validation of a Multidimensional Measure for AI-Native Organizations
AI is changing what leaders must judge, explain, learn, and coordinate, yet existing measures do not capture these behaviors at the level needed to study leadership in AI-enabled work.Newer Is Not Fairer: Gender Stereotyping in Text-to-Image AI Across Model Generations
Text-to-image generative models are widely used in professional and creative settings, yet how they represent gender across occupations -- and whether newer models are fairer -- remains poorly…Toward a Time-Aware Assessment Framework for the Carbon Cost of AI-Enabled Decarbonization
AI is increasingly used to support decarbonization decisions across the built environment, yet the development, training, and use of AI consume energy and induce CO2e emissions.Teaching AI, Robotics, & Community: A Hubs-Based K-12 Education Framework for Reaching Rural Schools
K-12 robotics and AI education remains difficult to scale, especially in rural regions lacking sustained technical mentorship.Linguistic Triggers of Gender and Racial Bias in Open-Weight LLMs Applied to Recruitment
Open-weight large language models are rapidly entering hiring pipelines, yet their discriminatory failure modes -- and the regulatory exposure these create under the EU AI Act high-risk…Misgendering as Breakdown in Human-Machine Communication: How AI Companion Chatbot Users Experience and Repair Misgendering
In recent years, large language model-based AI companion and role play chatbots have grown increasingly popular.Beyond Accuracy: How Procedural Traces Shift the Decision Criterion of LLM Overseers
Organizations increasingly use oversight loops where one large language model (LLM) audits another's outputs alongside procedural traces of claimed steps.Understanding AI Provider Recommendations in Local Service Markets
When someone asks an AI assistant which doctor to see or which firm to trust with their savings, the answer is a referral.GYROval: A Robust Benchmark for Cultural Value Orientation in Large Language Models
We present a robust benchmark for measuring cultural value orientation in large language models on the two Inglehart-Welzel axes over several domains and roles (hence GYROval - Gridded Yielding of…A Global Readiness and Sovereignty Capability Model for Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration
Cryptographic dependence predates the quantum era, but the migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) opens a rare window to reshape it, because the algorithms, implementations, hardware, and…Rapid drone-based wildfire detection at a fraction of current prevention spending
Early wildfire detection is critical to prevent small ignitions from escalating into large-scale disasters, yet current monitoring systems lack a quantitative framework for allocating detection…PACT: Can Enterprise AI Assistants Be Trusted Under Pressure?
As corporate AI adoption continues to grow, enterprise-grade LLM agents are being deployed into sensitive contexts such as hiring, healthcare, and finance."If I Had to Buy Just ONE: Galaxy S26 Ultra": Auditing AI-Generated Product Recommendations
Consumers increasingly use AI chatbots for advice on what to buy.Towards stratified sampling for redistricting plans
Rapid algorithmic developments have accelerated the sampling of redistricting ensembles (balanced graph partitions), yet evaluating rare events and sampling complex target measures remains a core…Evaluating the Health of Open-Source Smart City Platforms
To manage the complexity of smart cities, a variety of smart city platforms (SCPs), both proprietary and open-source, have been proposed.
