PROBE: Learning to Audit Policy Compliance in Tool-Using LLM Agents

PROBE is an algorithm that trains language‑model auditors to probe deployed tool‑using agents for policy violations through realistic, multi‑turn, tool‑mediated dialogue. By framing auditing as a two‑player Markov game and using a composite reward that balances violation discovery, behavioral plausibility, conversation progress, and policy diversity, PROBE outperforms zero‑shot adversaries in uncovering broader and higher‑yield policy violations. The study compares GRPO, DPO, and GFlowNet optimizations, demonstrating that multi‑turn behavioral auditing is a distinct and necessary axis of agent evaluation, complementing existing capability and safety benchmarks.

Towards Detecting AI-Assisted Responses in Online Surveys

The paper introduces ASURRE, a benchmark dataset for detecting AI‑assisted responses in online surveys. It evaluates how different LLM usage strategies—ranging from full generation to persona‑grounded agentic completion—affect the performance of existing machine‑generated text detectors. The study finds that while naive AI usage is easily detected, more sophisticated persona‑grounded agents approach chance performance, yet still leave identifiable behavioural traces that can be aggregated to improve detection.
