arXiv:2608. 14565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI safety research has mainly focused on two areas: technical alignment (ensuring AI systems produce human-aligned outputs) and the regulation of generative AI's societal impacts (including unemployment risk and labor market disruption).

arXiv:2606. 05647v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI coding agents are increasingly embedded in real-world software development, collaborating with human developers while gaining broader access to codebases and tools.

arXiv:2603. 19423v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external tools (file operations, API calls, database transactions) to autonomously complete complex multi-step tasks.
By Shawn Li, Yue Zhao
arXiv:2608. 15012v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has created a growing asymmetry in cybersecurity, where attack accelerates toward autonomous execution while defense remains predominantly human-intensive.

arXiv:2607. 18460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humans have always externalized thought onto tools, from the tally and the abacus to the map and, now, large language models.
By David C. Krakauer
arXiv:2604. 15579v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: There is increasing interest in integrating AI agents that invoke tools into domain-specific commercial software, where unintended tool calls can cause serious security and safety incidents.

arXiv:2607. 04613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents are moving from sandboxed text generators to operators of code, data, and physical infrastructure, and they increasingly learn while deployed.

arXiv:2606. 13079v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Nowadays, the autonomous execution of cyberattacks capable of causing substantial real-world harm is widely regarded as one of the critical red lines that frontier AI systems must not cross.

arXiv:2604. 16399v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adoption of AI-assisted development in 2025 exposed a tool-agnostic failure pattern: experienced developers using frontier models were measurably slower while believing they were faster, and 10.

arXiv:2607. 19321v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As AI agents begin to automate AI R&D, we need ways to assess whether their outputs are safe to deploy, even when the agents themselves may be untrusted.

arXiv:2606. 03811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A computer worm is malware that spreads on a network by replicating itself from one machine to another.
