F(AI)2R: Who Did What, and Who Checked? Verifiable AI Provenance as an Executable Skill

arXiv:2607. 25637v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: F(AI)2R is FAIR research with AI in the loop, twice: an AI-assisted authoring pass and a machine-readable audit pass over every artefact.

CrossAudit: A Git-Native, Cross-Vendor Audit Loop for Agentic Science

CrossAudit proposes a Git‑native, cross‑vendor audit protocol for autonomous research pipelines, ensuring each work increment is reviewed by an agent from a different vendor against a human‑written rulebook. Audit outcomes, disputes, and rulings are stored as git commits, providing a replayable, versioned supervision history. The authors implemented the protocol with GitHub Actions and Python, deployed it in a computational‑chemistry pipeline, and conducted a seeded‑defect trial that revealed differing interpretations of the same rulebook by two vendors.

The Calibration Turn in AI-Assisted Research: A Conceptual and Methodological Framework for Evidence-Licensed Claims

arXiv:2606. 31273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-assisted research has entered a stage in which the central question is not only whether systems can generate hypotheses, run experiments, or produce manuscripts, but whether their scientific claims are calibrated to the evidence that supports them.

Making AI-Assisted Claims Independently Challengeable: Publication Authority and a Protocol for Falsifiable Publication Records

The paper introduces Publication Authority, a single-use, non-transferable capability that ensures AI-assisted claims can be independently challenged by providing a machine-readable, falsifiable publication record. It presents the PAC-2026 protocol, evaluates its fourth bounded semantic freeze (SF-4), and demonstrates through extensive modeling that the system enforces strict obligations on evidence, authorization, and lifecycle continuity. The study confirms internal coherence, bounded safety, and fault sensitivity, though it does not address factual truth or field efficacy.
