arXiv:2607. 16530v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As generative AI is increasingly applied to automate multi-step and high-stake workflows, human judgment and involvement remain essential for ensuring the quality of AI-generated outputs.
AI agents are increasingly autonomous, posing significant risks that current designs hinder effective human oversight. The paper argues that oversight is degraded by both design choices and the cognitive decline of users who rely heavily on automation. It calls for prioritizing human cognitive needs in AI agent development, proposing design affordances and protocols to maintain critical judgment and counter skill atrophy.

arXiv:2608. 14870v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents can execute continuously, but human attention remains intermittent and scarce.
OS-Marathon is a new benchmark that tests computer‑use agents on vast‑horizon, repetitive tasks, covering 100 tasks across five scenarios and ten domains. The study shows that current state‑of‑the‑art agents perform poorly on these tasks, and that simply decomposing workflows into subtasks does not solve the problem. Introducing a cost‑friendly personalization method called GraphDemo, which adapts agents from a single human demonstration, improves performance, highlighting the value of human guidance for these challenging tasks.
Scaling human oversight of AI systems for tasks that are difficult to evaluate.

arXiv:2608. 16213v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Intelligence is constituted by \textit{process} (iterative activity through which output emerges), not in the output itself.
The paper examines how users delegate tasks to the AI agent OpenClaw by analyzing 73,093 Reddit posts. It identifies 21 human values grouped into six categories—such as Autonomous Operation, Dependable Operation, Affordable Operation, Bounded Reach, Reviewability, and Equitable Access—and finds that values are largely satisfied when users describe the agent’s outputs but often unmet when users discuss supervising the agent. The authors term this pattern "value‑sensitive delegation," emphasizing that supporting human values requires attention to both what an agent does and the conditions users set around its use.

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.
