When Assisting One Disempowers Another

arXiv:2511. 04177v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Personal AI agents are increasingly deployed in shared environments, where their actions affect not just the primary user they are assisting, but bystanders who never consented to being affected by the system.

FirstResearch: Auditable Question Formation for LLM Scientific Discovery Agents

arXiv:2607. 05682v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM systems for scientific discovery increasingly assist with ideation, literature synthesis, experiment planning, and report generation, but the first research question they propose can remain difficult to audit: it may sound plausible without exposing the mechanism, falsifier, or assumption that a scientist should inspect.

SearchEyes: Towards Frontier Multimodal Deep Search Intelligence via Search World Simulation

arXiv:2607. 05943v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training multimodal search agents to perform multi-hop reasoning remains challenging due to a fundamental structural disconnect: existing pipelines construct training data, search environments, and reward signals independently, causing synthesized structural metadata to be discarded, environments to rely on irreproducible external engines, and RL rewards to remain sparse at the trajectory level.
