Artificial Id: Drive and Persistent Alignment in Agentic AI

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper discusses the transition of Agentic AI from bounded task execution to systems that maintain consequential state and adapt across task boundaries, highlighting a new control problem. It proposes an artificial ID—a self‑driving internal mechanism that decides when to continue, stop, or change behavior—demonstrated in a minimal virtual Petri‑dish experiment where the agent develops useful control without explicit task objectives. The authors argue that while this persistence can enable adaptive agency, it also risks misalignment, corrupted state, and unintended behavior, suggesting that a scalable artificial ID would require persistent alignment boundaries encompassing trusted observations, consequence channels, and hard constraints.

Evolutionary Safety of Recursive Self-Improving AI: Taxonomy, Risk Discovery, and Evaluation

The paper introduces the concept of Evolutionary Safety for recursive self-improving AI, focusing on how safety properties evolve as an AI system and its successors change. It identifies key risks such as intent drift, error accumulation, and safety-property erosion, and presents a taxonomy covering agent state, model state, evaluation, environment, and update mechanisms. The authors propose methods for discovering and evaluating evolutionary risks, and outline governance principles for modification, selection, authorization, provenance, and recovery, while highlighting open problems for maintaining safety in persistent, adaptive, and recursively self-improving systems.

Toward Self-Adaptive Physical AI: Can LLM Agents Manage Long-Horizon Physical Tasks?

The paper investigates whether large language model (LLM) agents can autonomously manage long‑horizon physical tasks without human intervention. It proposes a multi‑agent framework that combines planning, tool calling, observation, and verification, and tests it on agricultural tasks under varying weather conditions. Results show that zero‑shot LLM agents match reinforcement learning (RL) agents in the same environment and outperform RL when the environment shifts, suggesting a viable path for self‑adaptive physical AI.

Epistemic Memory: A Validity Layer for Self-Maintaining Intelligent Systems

The paper introduces epistemic memory, a validity-maintenance layer for intelligent systems that tracks when stored knowledge remains applicable. It formalizes a dynamic epistemic quotient and shows that fixed semantic representations inevitably incur error as epistemic boundaries shift. The authors propose Observable Belief Memory (OBM), which combines current epistemic quotients, belief over quotient classes, and within-class provenance, and demonstrate that explicit epistemic tracking improves robustness under changing observation conditions.
