arXiv:2608. 10430v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) deployed as AI agents frequently exhibit user specification-grounding failures, executing hallucinated, undesired actions to force a resolution rather than expressing uncertainty.

The paper surveys hallucinations in large language models (LLMs) through a lifecycle lens, covering causes, detection, mitigation, and prevention. It categorizes hallucinations into data‑related, training‑related, and inference‑related stages, aligning each with specific interventions. The authors also review benchmark datasets and propose a standardized framework to diagnose and address hallucinations for safer, more reliable LLMs.

The paper introduces ShadowMem, a defensive framework that protects large language model agents from long-horizon threats by maintaining a dedicated safety-focused memory. Inspired by the shadow stack concept, ShadowMem stores safety-critical context throughout an agent’s execution and uses this shadow memory to evaluate the risk of upcoming actions before they are carried out. Experiments show that ShadowMem outperforms existing defenses in detection accuracy, detects most attacks early, and adds minimal overhead to agent performance.
