1. Kinetic AI Risk

Scope: Intersection of Large Language Models (LLM) and ICS/SCADA.

OmniAssistBench: Assistant-style Interaction Benchmark for Omni-LLMs

2026-08-21 | Xianyun Sun, Chaoyou Fu, Zhengye Zhan...

Recent omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) show great potential as real-time video assistants, which continuously perceive environments and guide users to achieve specific goals. Unlike traditional passive video understanding, interactive assistants should actively combine visual states, user goals, and prior...

Asymmetric Capacity Allocation in Self-Refinement Pipelines

2026-08-21 | Zhuoyi Yang, Ian G. Harris, Salar Has...

Self-refinement, typically structured as generation, critique, and revision, is a widely adopted paradigm for improving LLM generation and serves as a core mechanism in many LLM agents. While the three stages involve different cognitive demands, most existing approaches conveniently treat...

Move by Move: Measuring and Steering How LLMs Conduct Psychotherapy

2026-08-21 | Afonso Baldo, Hugo Pitorro, Areti Vas...

Users increasingly turn to large language models for emotional support, yet little is known about how these models actually conduct a psychotherapy interaction. We introduce an ontology of ten therapeutic moves: compact, function-based categories grounded in the MULTI-60 inventory, validated...

Level-k Distinguishable Mechanisms for Evaluating Bounded Rationality in LLMs

2026-08-21 | Binchi Zhang, Atrisha Sarkar

Strategic depth of reasoning is essential for human interaction of Large Language Models (LLMs) operating in boundedly rational environments. However, existing evaluations are primarily based on canonical games prevalent in pretraining corpora, making it difficult to disentangle true strategic reasoning...

CLEAR: Continuous Latent Adapter Routing for Utility-Preserving LLM Safety Alignment

2026-08-21 | Chengxiao Wang, Enyi Jiang, Xiaojing ...

Improving the safety of large language models (LLMs) often comes at the expense of utility, as globally applied safety tuning may affect model responses to both harmful and benign inputs. We propose \textbf{C}ontinuous \textbf{L}at\textbf{E}nt \textbf{A}dapter \textbf{R}outing (CLEAR), a conditional safety...

Benchmarking Patent Drafting from Inventor-Style Disclosures

2026-08-21 | Lekang Jiang, Wenjun Sun, Stephan Goetz

While recent large language models (LLMs) have achieved promising results on individual patent drafting tasks, they fundamentally fail to investigate the core challenge of real-world patent drafting: generating a complete and legally coherent patent application directly from early-stage invention materials....

Affective Context Amplifies Sycophancy in LLM Responses

2026-08-21 | Jiayi Li, Sanjana Menon, Brett Frisch...

As conversational companions, large language models (LLMs) often have access to users' emotional states. We study how this affective context modulates LLM sycophancy in subjective, evaluative interactions, where users share actions or opinions that invite feedback. Drawing on ingratiation theory,...

Indexing Long Documents for LLM-Based Analysis

2026-08-21 | Donna Pham

Long documents such as clinical records, legal contracts, and scientific papers are increasingly analyzed with large language models (LLMs). Naturally, feeding the full document to the model for every question can eventually become slow, expensive, prone to hallucination, and it...

Enhancing LLMs in Predictive Political QA with Semi-Structured Data

2026-08-21 | Yinan Liu, Zihan Zhou, Zichun Jin, Xi...

Predictive political question answering (QA), such as predicting how a political actor will vote, goes beyond factual lookup. External political resources offer rich historical evidence, but rarely contain the answer itself. Existing LLM augmentation methods, including actor-profile-based simulation and knowledge...

Personalized Privacy Control in LLMs via Attention Head Intervention

2026-08-21 | Junseok Kim, Nakyeong Yang, Kyomin Jung

The rise of agentic AI enables LLMs to access diverse user data, raising critical privacy concerns. Prior work on contextual privacy studies whether LLMs regulate information disclosure according to context-dependent norms. However, acceptable disclosure boundaries may vary across users even...

Specification Portability Across LLM Development Agents: Cross-Agent Compatibility in Specification-Driven Software Migration

2026-08-21 | Oleg Grynets, Oleksii Ilchuk, Dariia ...

This paper investigates cross-agent specification portability using Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration as a controlled software transformation task. The study combines two experimental stages. First, a specification-first migration pipeline was evaluated on 1,006 PL/SQL files, of which 623 were successfully regenerated and 380...

2. GRC Engineering & AI Governance

Scope: AI Governance, Policy as Code, and Compliance Engineering.

From Abstract Threats to Institutional Realities: A Comparative Semantic Network Analysis of AI Securitisation in the US, EU, and China

2026-01-07 | Ruiyi Guo, Bodong Zhang

Artificial intelligence governance exhibits a striking paradox: while major jurisdictions converge rhetorically around concepts such as safety, risk, and accountability, their regulatory frameworks remain fundamentally divergent and mutually unintelligible. This paper argues that this fragmentation cannot be explained solely by...

From Slaves to Synths? Superintelligence and the Evolution of Legal Personality

2026-01-06 | Simon Chesterman

This essay examines the evolving concept of legal personality through the lens of recent developments in artificial intelligence and the possible emergence of superintelligence. Legal systems have long been open to extending personhood to non-human entities, most prominently corporations, for...

Compliance as a Trust Metric

2026-01-03 | Wenbo Wu, George Konstantinidis

Trust and Reputation Management Systems (TRMSs) are critical for the modern web, yet their reliance on subjective user ratings or narrow Quality of Service (QoS) metrics lacks objective grounding. Concurrently, while regulatory frameworks like GDPR and HIPAA provide objective behavioral...

Verifiable Off-Chain Governance

2025-12-29 | Jake Hartnell, Eugenio Battaglia

Current DAO governance praxis limits organizational expressivity and reduces complex organizational decisions to token-weighted voting due to on-chain computational limits. This paper proposes verifiable off-chain computation (leveraging Verifiable Services, TEEs, and ZK proofs) as a framework to transcend these constraints...

With Great Capabilities Come Great Responsibilities: Introducing the Agentic Risk & Capability Framework for Governing Agentic AI Systems

2025-12-22 | Shaun Khoo, Jessica Foo, Roy Ka-Wei Lee

Agentic AI systems present both significant opportunities and novel risks due to their capacity for autonomous action, encompassing tasks such as code execution, internet interaction, and file modification. This poses considerable challenges for effective organizational governance, particularly in comprehensively identifying,...

Computable Gap Assessment of Artificial Intelligence Governance in Children's Centres: Evidence-Mechanism-Governance-Indicator Modelling of UNICEF's Guidance on AI and Children 3.0 Based on the Graph-GAP Framework

2025-12-20 | Wei Meng

This paper tackles practical challenges in governing child centered artificial intelligence: policy texts state principles and requirements but often lack reproducible evidence anchors, explicit causal pathways, executable governance toolchains, and computable audit metrics. We propose Graph-GAP, a methodology that decomposes...

The Future of the AI Summit Series

2025-12-19 | Lucia Velasco, Charles Martinet, Henr...

This policy memo examines the evolution of the international AI Summit series, initiated at Bletchley Park in 2023 and continued through Seoul in 2024 and Paris in 2025, as a forum for cooperation on the governance of advanced artificial intelligence....

Smart Data Portfolios: A Quantitative Framework for Input Governance in AI

2025-12-18 | A. Talha Yalta, A. Yasemin Yalta

Growing concerns about fairness, privacy, robustness, and transparency have made it a central expectation of AI governance that automated decisions be explainable by institutions and intelligible to affected parties. We introduce the Smart Data Portfolio (SDP) framework, which treats data...

How frontier AI companies could implement an internal audit function

2025-12-16 | Francesca Gomez, Adam Buick, Leah Fer...

Frontier AI developers operate at the intersection of rapid technical progress, extreme risk exposure, and growing regulatory scrutiny. While a range of external evaluations and safety frameworks have emerged, comparatively little attention has been paid to how internal organizational assurance...
