arXiv:2607. 05363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personal agents are becoming persistent user-owned intermediaries: they remember preferences, filter platform-mediated information, use tools, and negotiate with services.

arXiv:2608. 14613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern LLM-agent frameworks increasingly interoperate through standards such as Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agent-to-tool access and Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol for agent delegation and negotiation.

arXiv:2606. 18021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI systems deployed in legal workflows hallucinate at rates that aggregate metrics report at ~52%, but this average conceals where errors concentrate and in which direction they run, leaving compliance officers without an actionable signal for trustworthy deployment.

arXiv:2606. 11632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic infrastructure introduces a critical control-plane authorization problem: non-deterministic reasoning systems can propose high-stakes mutations to production resources, yet existing security mechanisms -- such as identity and access management (IAM), policy engines, consensus protocols, and audit logs -- either enforce static, context-unaware permissions or merely record actions post-execution.

The Civilization Framework proposes a new way to structure communication between AI agents by treating the civilization—comprising a human sovereign, a persistent ledger, and interchangeable agents—as the addressable party rather than individual agents. It introduces the Embassy Protocol, an asynchronous, carrier‑agnostic overlay that routes messages to a ledger endpoint where any online agent can process them, with commitment state on ledgers serving as the true record of interaction. The paper also identifies a temporal‑weight effect in AI‑to‑AI communication, demonstrates its impact in a preregistered experiment, and discusses mitigation strategies such as instruction‑level provenance labeling and sealed‑answer accuracy equivalence.
whyItMatters":"The framework offers a novel architecture that could reduce context loss and authority bias in multi‑agent AI systems, potentially improving reliability and accountability in AI‑driven interactions."

The paper introduces Aegis, a runtime governance system for agentic AI that treats model outputs as action proposals and mediates them through a trusted decision layer before tool execution. Aegis evaluates proposals against active policy, resolves provenance server‑side, fails closed under uncertainty, and routes selected cases through a Senate‑style settlement process. In a sandbox evaluation across 6,300 rows, Aegis prevented all governed mock‑tool applications and risky side‑effect completions, preserving provenance and quorum evidence for all settled cases.

arXiv:2608. 07538v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM agents move from decision support to autonomous procurement, firms need to know whether delegated negotiators create value, divide it predictably, and avoid money-losing contracts.

The Civilization Framework proposes a new way for AI systems to communicate by treating the entire civilization—one human sovereign, a persistent ledger, and interchangeable agents—as the addressable party, rather than individual agents. It introduces the Embassy Protocol, an asynchronous, carrier‑agnostic overlay that routes messages to a ledger endpoint where any online agent of the receiver can process them, with commitment state on both ledgers serving as the ground truth. The framework also identifies a temporal‑weight effect in AI‑to‑AI communication, demonstrates its impact in a preregistered experiment, and explores mitigation strategies such as instruction‑level provenance labeling and sealed‑answer accuracy equivalence.
whyItMatters":"The framework aims to reduce context loss and authority bias in AI interactions by grounding communication in a shared ledger and sovereign oversight, potentially improving reliability and accountability in multi‑agent systems."
