Inheriting the Count: How Visualization Literacy Got Its Measure
Foundational frameworks in visualization have operationalized literacy as an individual competency, measured through chart-comprehension tasks.Trust by Design: Trust Calibration Through Non-Advisory Socratic Dialogue in Conversational Agents
As conversational AI systems increasingly operate in sensitive domains, the central challenge shifts from usability to trust calibration, ensuring that users rely on systems neither too much nor too…Ending the NIH embargo accelerated public access to funded research, but substantial delays remain
On 1 July 2025 the National Institutes of Health began requiring that funded articles be publicly available in PubMed Central on the day they are published, ending the 12-month embargo that had…LLMs as Oracles: Reliance on LLMs for Subjective Personal Questions
We characterize how people are turning to LLMs as oracles: all-knowing authorities on subjective personal questions.Driver Behavior Estimation at Signalized Intersections Using a Physics-Constrained Decision-Conditioned Autoregressive Transformer
Red-light violations and harsh braking at signalized intersections are major contributors to traffic accidents.An Efficient and Modular Framework for Targeted Harm Mitigation in LLMS
Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful zero-shot learners but remain prone to misalignment with human preferences, often producing biased, toxic, or otherwise harmful outputs.From Network Inequality to Network Fairness: A Perspective on Responsible Decision-Making
Social networks shape how individuals make decisions and how opportunities are distributed.A Multi-Stage Agentic Framework for Effective Counter-Narrative Generation and Refinement
The rapid diffusion of hate speech and misinformation on social networks challenges democratic societies, since direct suppression efforts may deepen polarization, fuel public distrusts, and…When Does AI Augment Work? A Workflow-Level Framework for Human-Agent Collaboration
We aim to characterise the value of artificial intelligence in the workplace.ARC: Autonomous Robotics Compliance A Three-Layer Governance Architecture for Deployed Autonomous Systems
Proposed governance framework for autonomous robotic systems, introducing a three-layer compliance architecture (ARC) instantiated through model safety validation, cognitive certification…A Robot Among People:From Social Imitation to the Social Becoming of Human Groups
Robots designed to mediate human groups often fall into the solutionist trap: they are framed as sociable agents that fix problems such as conflict, disengagement, or lack of coordination.How User-AI Mistreatment Occurs and Matters in Conversational Systems?
Safety research often focuses on model-generated harms, but users may also direct hostility, coercion, and adversarial pressure at models.terms.txt: A Consent and Compensation Protocol for Agentic Web Access
The open web ran on an unwritten bargain: sites admitted crawlers, and search engines sent visitors back.(Whose defaults?) Is artificial intelligence reorienting archaeological methods?
Generative AI and the practice of "vibe coding" are changing how archaeologists carry out computational research, but their effects on the discipline's range of methods is still understudied.SoulAuth: An Actor-native Identity Architecture and Rust Reference Implementation for Humans and Long-lived AI Actors
As AI systems move from transient model invocations toward long-lived actors that persist across credentials, clients, sessions, and runtime instances, identity infrastructure must answer a basic…INDRA: A New AI Tool for Exploring Tobacco, Fossil Fuel, and Chemical Industry Archives
Five decades of litigation have disgorged hundreds of millions of pages of formerly secret business records from the tobacco industry, along with documents from the makers of drugs, chemicals, food…Characterizing Bluesky Content Moderation Service: From Automation of Service to Landscape of Harms
Empirical research on content moderation is fundamentally constrained by the opaque deployment of moderation systems on major social media platforms.Buyer Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Environmental Governance and Supplier Environmental Controversies: An Organizational Information Processing and Signaling
Environmental controversies in global supply chains pose significant risks for global buyers.Reinforcement Learning over Patient Trajectories for Clinical Reasoning in EHR Foundation Models
Electronic health record (EHR) foundation models trained on longitudinal patient trajectories have demonstrated strong performance across diverse clinical prediction tasks.Watermarks Without Verification: AI Text Watermarking After the EU AI Act
On August 2, 2026, the obligations of Article 50 of the EU AI Act took effect, requiring generative AI providers to mark the content their systems produce and ensure it can be detected as…
