Who Evaluates AI's Social Impacts? Mapping Coverage and Gaps in First and Third Party Evaluations

arXiv:2511. 05613v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Foundation models are increasingly central to high-stakes AI systems, and governance frameworks now depend on evaluations to assess their risks and capabilities.

Measuring Biological Capabilities and Risks of AI Agents

arXiv:2606. 19899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper addresses a rapidly emerging policy challenge: how to generate and interpret credible evidence about the biological capabilities and risks of AI scientists, or agentic AI systems capable of autonomously or collaboratively performing multi-step scientific tasks.

An Open Pipeline and Dashboard for Systemic-Risk Evidence under the EU AI Act's Code of Practice

The paper introduces the Systemic Risk Index, an open pipeline and dashboard that aggregates evidence from 19 public AI benchmarks into four systemic‑risk categories defined by the EU GPAI Code of Practice. It evaluates 18 models using harm‑preserving perturbations and simulated deployment contexts, offering users the ability to switch between average and worst‑case aggregation and to trace each risk rating back to its benchmark evidence. The study finds that worst‑case scores can be 14 to 37 points lower than average scores, and that LLM judges agree with human graders at a level comparable to human‑human agreement.

The AI Assessment Sandbox Configurator: A Framework to Support Technical Assessment in AI Regulatory Sandboxes

The paper introduces the AI Assessment Sandbox Configurator, an open‑source framework designed to support technical assessment in AI Regulatory Sandboxes (AIRS) mandated by the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. It outlines 11 architectural and governance requirements for infrastructure that enables large‑scale, structured technical testing, and presents a catalogue of tests, a shared data model, dashboards, and reporting tools that harmonise heterogeneous outputs. An early‑stage pilot demonstrated the framework’s harmonisation and reporting capabilities within a live AIRS engagement, contributing to an official Exit Report.

Mapping U.S. Federal AI Governance Against Sector Vulnerability

The study evaluates 684 U.S. federal AI governance documents for how they address 14 sectors and 24 AI risks, measuring both breadth and depth of coverage. It finds that risks related to robustness, system security, and governance are more frequently and substantively discussed than socioeconomic, environmental, and emerging risks, and that sectors such as public administration, national security, information, and scientific services receive higher coverage than finance and healthcare. By comparing these coverage patterns with expert vulnerability assessments, the authors identify potential gaps in AI governance that could inform future policy and industry decisions.
