Human oversight of agentic systems in practice: Examining the oversight work, challenges, and heuristics of developers using software agents

arXiv:2606. 05391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous software agents hold promise to increase developer productivity but make mistakes and exhibit novel failure modes, making human oversight central to successful human-agent collaboration.

Humans are Missing from AI Coding Agent Research

arXiv:2608. 12355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent progress in AI coding agent research has led to rapid improvements in agents' ability to autonomously perform complex software engineering tasks, from editing large codebases to executing long-horizon development workflows.

Early Adoption of Agentic Coding Tools by GitHub Projects

Agentic coding tools are increasingly capable of generating and submitting pull requests (PRs) to software projects, introducing new forms of human-agent collaboration in software development. While prior studies have examined PR-level outcomes of agent-generated contributions, less is known about how agentic coding tools are adopted and managed at the project level.

POIROT: Interrogating Agents for Failure Detection in Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2606. 02282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Orchestrating Large Language Models into Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS) has unlocked remarkable reasoning capabilities, yet emergent failures and hallucinations that resist characterisation block their deployment in safety-critical domains -- a gap made legally untenable by emerging AI regulation.

"So There's a Catch-22 Here": How Early Adopters Who Build Multi-Agent LLM Systems Conceptualize Transparency

arXiv:2606. 08323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems are rapidly emerging, yet transparency, a cornerstone of responsible AI, remains under-defined in these distributed architectures, which have complexities of inter-agent coordination and orchestration.
