Spam detection in the physical world

Disrupting malicious uses of AI: June 2025

Our latest report featuring case studies of how we’re detecting and preventing malicious uses of AI.

Robots that learn

We’ve created a robotics system, trained entirely in simulation and deployed on a physical robot, which can learn a new task after seeing it done once.

Physical AI: What It Is and What It Is Not

A quick guide to separating Physical AI from world models, embodied AI, physics AI, and digital twins The post Physical AI: What It Is and What It Is Not appeared first on Towards Data Science .

Targeting World Models to Compromise Robot Learning Pipelines

arXiv:2606. 09499v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models have recently seen a rapid growth in both their popularity and capability as more data efficient tools for generating robot training data or simulating real world environments, with many works proposing their integration into the robot learning pipeline.

!Imperio, smolVLA: The Implications of Data Poisoning on Open Source Robotics

arXiv:2607. 04146v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work establishes that trigger-word data poisoning of vision language action models is practical, while at the same time the open-source robotics ecosystem holds trust assumptions about community contributions.

Social bot detection in the age of ChatGPT: Challenges and opportunities

The article reviews the challenges and opportunities of detecting social bots amid the rise of advanced AI chatbots. It highlights gaps in current detection methods, especially regarding AI-generated conversations, and identifies emerging trends such as synthetic data generation, multimodal cross‑platform detection, low‑resource language support, and federated learning approaches. The authors propose these directions as promising avenues for future research.

When Prompts Control Robots: Prompt Injection Attacks in Multi-Agent Robotic Systems

arXiv:2608. 00747v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly integrated into autonomous robotic systems for task planning and control, but this integration exposes them to prompt injection attacks that can lead to unsafe decisions and physical harm.

Artificially intelligent agents in the social and behavioral sciences: A history and outlook

arXiv:2510. 05743v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We review the historical development and current trends of artificially intelligent agents (agentic AI) in the social and behavioral sciences: from the first programmable computers, and social simulations soon thereafter, to today's experiments with large language models.

MuTRAP: Multi-trigger Trojans Attacking Robot Task Planning Systems

arXiv:2504. 17070v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robots need task planning methods to achieve goals that require more than one action.
