The Ethical Decision Head: Operationalizing Normative Ethics in Autonomous Vehicles via Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback

arXiv:2608. 16710v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As autonomous vehicles (AVs) approach Level 4 and Level 5 operational capability [SAE International, 2018], their on- board decision systems must handle not only safety-critical locomotion but also their subsequent moral weight.

ARENA: Automated Red-Teaming for Large Audio Language Models

arXiv:2608. 15578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large audio-language models (LALMs) make it possible to interact with language models through speech, music, and environmental sound, but they also introduce a safety surface that is difficult to expose with text-only red-teaming.

AeroCopilotBench: A Two-Tier Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Agents as Aviation Copilots in an Interactive Virtual Cockpit Environment

arXiv:2608. 16349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents may assist flight crews with complex decisions and task execution, but existing aviation evaluations centered on static knowledge do not support systematic testing of procedural execution and safety compliance in interactive environments.
