arXiv:2603. 08924v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI-powered answer engines are inherently non-deterministic: identical queries submitted at different times can produce different responses and cite different sources.
By Ronald Sielinski
arXiv:2607. 14197v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) answer engines now field a growing share of the questions that analysts, scholars, and the public ask about issues of peace and conflict.

arXiv:2605. 12887v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Web-enabled LLM agents are changing how online information influences search outcomes.
By Hengwei Ye, Jiasheng Mao, Zhenhan Guan, Zheng Tian
arXiv:2603. 00801v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Language agents increasingly act as web-enabled systems that search, browse, and synthesize information from diverse sources.
By Shrey Shah, Levent Ozgur
arXiv:2606. 26449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented systems routinely present citations alongside generated answers, yet a citation does not confirm that the corresponding source meaningfully shaped the output.

arXiv:2506. 17467v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown significant potential to change how we write, communicate, and create, leading to rapid adoption across society.
By Weixin Liang
arXiv:2510. 11560v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The advent of LLMs has given rise to generative search, a new search paradigm in which LLMs retrieve information from the web related to a query and synthesize it into a single, coherent response.

arXiv:2607. 20730v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models increasingly use search tools to retrieve up-to-date information, introducing a new attack surface in which retrieved documents can be manipulated.
By Zhaoqi Wang, Zijian Zhang, Xiaomei Yuan, Pengtao Kou, Jiamou Liu, Zhen Li, Liehuang Zhu
arXiv:2606. 05241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Public benchmarks enable fair and reproducible evaluation of LLM reasoning, but they become fragile for deep research agents that actively search the web during inference.

arXiv:2608. 08994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieving relevant evidence from noisy web data is challenging, particularly in sensitive domains containing incomplete reports, heterogeneous language, and irrelevant content.
