Why we need an AI-resilient society- Profiling Large Language Models

The article discusses the evolution of AI across three generations—from explicit logic to neural networks to large language models (LLMs)—and how LLMs introduce new systemic risks. It applies a forensic‑psychology profiling method to identify ten key features of LLMs, such as hallucinations, bias, and cognitive atrophy, revealing an entity that confabulates, amplifies user biases, and erodes human competence. The report concludes with a four‑pillar framework for AI resilience, emphasizing cognitive sovereignty, measurable control, partial autonomy, and openness to safeguard society.

Rethinking Data Quality for AI-Driven Systems: Evidence from Practitioner Interviews

The study examines how practitioners in AI-driven systems define, assess, and manage data quality, revealing six key themes. It highlights shifts in traceability, the use of models as quality assessors, and the emergence of new data objects such as agent context and synthetic data. The research proposes a lifecycle assurance framework to provide evidence that data supports specific AI claims throughout model behavior, judgments, and agent actions.
