When Should an AI Scientist Stop? Verifiable Experiment Steering and Refusal for Autonomous Discovery

arXiv:2606. 07576v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present CARTOGRAPH, a verification layer for AI scientists that couples unresolved-subspace experiment steering (select), explicit ambiguity closure (resolve), and residual-based library inadequacy detection (refuse).

The Calibration Turn in AI-Assisted Research: A Conceptual and Methodological Framework for Evidence-Licensed Claims

arXiv:2606. 31273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-assisted research has entered a stage in which the central question is not only whether systems can generate hypotheses, run experiments, or produce manuscripts, but whether their scientific claims are calibrated to the evidence that supports them.

Local verification cannot detect non-transportability: a cohomological theory of context preservation in agentic reasoning

arXiv:2608. 11252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems routinely transport conclusions across biological, clinical and financial contexts, and the emerging safeguard is local verification: checking at each step that the entity is representable in the chosen tool, that parameters are compatible, and that outputs cohere with the plan.

Position: Anthropomorphic Misalignment Research Needs Stronger Evidence

arXiv:2606. 07612v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We argue that many Anthropomorphic Misalignment Research (AMR) studies need stronger evidence to ensure that they can provide a robust foundation for critical safety decisions, such as model deployment and regulation.
