The AI policy window is open. We need to act.
Chris Lehane argues that as AI capabilities grow, we must strengthen safety evidence, adopt shared standards, and take durable policy action while the policy window remains open.
Alignment, interpretability, red-teaming, bias and privacy: the research on what these systems do when they misbehave.

Compute governance today is a governance of training: the thresholds, reporting requirements, and frontier-AI regimes now in force attach to training compute and treat the trained model as the regulat...
Modern TTS systems approach human quality for high-resource languages but degrade when clean speech data is scarce. Modern Greek exemplifies this, lacking the curated corpora behind state-of-the-art s...
Video-language models and video agents can produce hallucinations that conflict with spatiotemporal evidence. Existing benchmarks mainly evaluate model hallucinations, and heterogeneous mechanisms mak...
Multi-view diffusion models have shown strong performance in scenes with strong geometric priors and sparse semantics, such as indoor rooms or simple outdoor environments (e.g., fields, courtyards). H...
LLMs have been used to simulate human decision-making in professional settings, yet their behaviors in common-law jury trials remain unexplored. We study when and how a defendant's courtroom statement...
Malocclusion skeletal grading is a fundamental task in orthodontics, critical for diagnosis and treatment planning. Traditionally, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is used for visual measurement,...
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) large-scale deployment in industrial warehouse settings specifically necessitates that models exhibit human-expert-level hazard-oriented perception, understanding, and r...
Asynchronous reinforcement learning has become the standard way to scale training for language models, but the resulting policy lag biases the critic toward the stale behavior policy. Existing work on...
Procedural memory lets language agents reuse successful routines, but reuse presumes that a stored routine remains applicable. We study what happens when that presumption is deliberately violated. The...
As large language models are increasingly deployed as tool-augmented legal agents, they introduce agentic hallucinations where tool-call and reasoning errors cascade into fabricated holdings and misci...
Text-aligned speech tokenization methods have emerged to better align speech tokens with LLM token spaces, enabling more effective utilization of pretrained LLMs. However, they rely on offline automat...
Accurate contact prediction is useful for robotic manipulation only if it supports effective decisions. We investigate this connection using a compact, randomly initialized visuotactile world model, t...
Sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks are expected to provide a key infrastructure for large-scale embodied intelligence, where heterogeneous robots collaborate through low-latency connectivity, edg...
NOAH is a generative transformer that models the entire multimodal patient journey by integrating bidirectional time and a variational latent space to capture continuous, stochastic clinical trajectories. Trained on over 559 million events from 431,000 hospital visits, it processes medical images, time‑series, numeric signals, categorical events, and both structured and unstructured records. The model supports autoregressive forecasting, zero‑shot classification, and counterfactual simulations, yielding strong predictive performance across 15 ICD chapters, 29 comorbidities, and time‑to‑event outcomes.
An input may activate few hidden units even when different inputs collectively use an entire network. We study the statistical complexity of this input-dependent sparsity in the one-hidden-layer ReLU model of Awasthi et al.
The paper investigates how per-domain data composition during the mid‑training phase (between pre‑training and alignment) affects model performance. Experiments with Qwen3‑8B‑Base across five KOR‑Bench domains show that a moderate coverage band (10%‑40%) yields the best performance for each domain, and that alignment passes cannot fully close the gaps created by suboptimal mid‑training allocations. Additionally, zero coverage during mid‑training severely degrades accuracy, while a carefully tuned allocation can provide the largest overall pipeline improvement.
DXPR is a depth‑based cross‑modal place recognition framework that matches monocular camera queries to a LiDAR map using a single vision foundation model backbone. By converting both modalities into a unified depth image representation, DXPR learns modality‑invariant global descriptors without modality‑specific encoders. A geometry‑aware overlap miner refines pairwise metric learning by computing pixel‑level overlap scores, and extensive tests on KITTI and Boreas show strong performance across seasons, weather, and day/night conditions, outperforming prior CMPR baselines.
GraphFAS is a distributed system that automates graph feature generation and selection for industrial transaction networks. It uses a non‑parametric graph feature generator that creates explicit, interpretable structural features through multi‑hop subgraph extraction and multi‑scale aggregation, and an extended Boruta algorithm that aggregates feature importance across partitions to robustly identify informative features at scale. By decoupling feature aggregation from model training, GraphFAS can be directly integrated with tabular models and TreeSHAP‑based explanations, and it has been deployed in Alipay, achieving significant engineering efficiency gains and strong performance against expert‑driven and graph‑learning baselines on large‑scale graphs.
The paper examines whether benchmark scores obtained via APIs accurately reflect the performance of AI chatbots when accessed through user interfaces. By auditing ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini across seven systems and nine benchmarks, the authors find that API evaluations consistently overestimate accuracy and consistency compared to interface evaluations, with differences comparable to downgrading a full model generation. Attempts to align API behavior with interface behavior through prompt and parameter adjustments only partially close the gap.
