arXiv:2509. 14474v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The debate around Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) remains open due to two fundamentally different goals: replicating human-level performance versus replicating human-like cognitive processes.

arXiv:2610.18792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frontier language-model agents can now improve robots on their own: they write control code, test it, and keep what works as skills and memories for...
Harnesses for large language models have converged on a single-threaded shape: one agent, one history, one machine, one sitting. That shape fails work that spans many agents, outlives any one model ca...
The paper introduces Multimodal Embodied Agents (MMEAs), goal‑directed systems that combine multimodal task reasoning with physical action and adapt decisions based on feedback. It proposes the PAPAV framework, which defines five core capabilities—Perceive, Anticipate, Plan, Act, Verify—common to computer‑use agents, robotic systems, and MMEAs. The authors analyze 64 benchmarks, noting that most evaluations focus on Act while Anticipate and Verify are rarely assessed, highlighting gaps and open challenges in designing reliable physical agents.
The paper argues that new interactional concepts are needed to understand how humans change when engaging with large language models (LLMs). Drawing on enactive theory and the notion of Linguistic Bodies, it proposes that humans incorporate LLMs both as tools that enable specific skills and as linguistic partners that shape identity and language use. The authors introduce the idea of "susceptive sense‑making" to describe the heightened semiotic labor involved when friction is absent in these interactions, and suggest that this dynamic may affect users’ autonomy and development.
The paper proposes a developmental framework for autonomous artificial agents that emphasizes learning social norms and alignment through direct interaction with dynamic environments. It argues that intrinsic motivations such as curiosity and competence can guide exploration, but also complicate alignment with human goals. By drawing parallels to child development, the authors suggest that regulatory sandboxes serve as pedagogical spaces where agents gradually acquire moral agency and adapt their behaviors through experience and cooperation.
arXiv:2607. 15883v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are broadly capable, yet in sustained one-to-one conversation they still read as flat: competent, responsive, and somehow not quite the presence of a mind.
The article discusses autonomous systems as the pinnacle of AI development, emphasizing the need to blend connectionist and symbolic AI within systems engineering. It introduces a generic agent architecture that organizes behavior around long‑term memory and outlines challenges in linking sensory data to structured memory, goal‑oriented decision making, planning, and agent coordination for collective intelligence. The authors also explore agent trustworthiness, noting it extends beyond behavior to include cognitive validity, and propose methods for its evaluation while highlighting the gap between current capabilities and the envisioned autonomous multi‑agent systems.
