AI for Computational Design Science: A Responsible Human-AI Framework and Case Study on Short-Form Video Safety Surveillance

The paper introduces AI4CDS, a five‑phase framework that guides how AI can participate in computational design science while keeping researchers responsible for domain grounding, verification, and scientific judgment. It emphasizes principles such as graduated trust, reversibility, auditability, and differentiated reproducibility. The authors demonstrate the framework with ChildRiskGuard, an interpretable system that detects child‑inappropriate short‑form videos, achieving an F1 score of 0.769 and outperforming generic content‑safety models.

The Gold in Bias: Maturing the AI Design Process through Verification

The paper proposes rethinking bias in AI as a diagnostic tool rather than merely a flaw to be minimized. It introduces a multidimensional framework that examines bias across origin, lifecycle emergence, technical causes, and validation methods, covering 30 bias types, 16 verification methods, and 20 countermeasures for both traditional and generative AI. The authors present a hierarchical evidence framework distinguishing internal and external validity, and advocate for Ethics by Design principles to embed bias verification throughout the AI development lifecycle.

Atria Dawn: The Dawn of Agentic Superintelligence

The paper introduces Atria Dawn Preview, a foundation agentic language model aimed at scientific research and engineering workflows. Trained through a Verifiable Experience Pipeline, it performs competitively across 16 real‑world benchmarks, achieving the highest scores on five. The authors also present a detailed case study of human–AI collaboration, showing that while AI proposes methods and revisions, humans retain final decision‑making and guide the research direction.

Cognitive Digital Twins: Ethical Risks and Governance for AI Systems That Model the Mind

Cognitive Digital Twins (CDTs) are dynamic computational models that represent an individual’s cognition, continuously updated with behavioral, contextual, or physiological data to predict or simulate that person’s mental processes or act as a proxy for communication and decision‑making. The paper defines CDTs, distinguishes them from related systems, and introduces a 5A governance framework—authority, autonomy, access & control, accountability, and availability—to address their unique risks. It identifies specific threats such as misrepresentation, epistemic authority shifts, shadow twins, and proxy‑power asymmetries, and proposes governance requirements for high‑risk CDTs, including stronger consent, purpose limitation, validity, traceability, contestation, independent review, and model retirement.
