ChunkAct: Action Chunking for Agentic Robotics

Bingxin Xu, Wenrui Bao, Xinxin Liu +3

Agentic robotics places a large language model (LLM) agent in the robot control loop, where it composes perception, motion, and vision-language-action (VLA) tools under the guidanc…

Coding Agents with Harness for Safe Robot Control

Bingxin Xu, Yuzhang Shang, Zhen Dong +1

Coding agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation: a language model writes the robot controller as a program, and agents built in this way now operate robot…

Open-Weight Masked Introspection: Measuring What Language Models Can Report About Their Own Computation

Emilio Ferrara

Are frontier models able to introspect about their internal states? Recent work suggests that under certain conditions a complex enough model can audit its own internals, call out…

Don't Drop the BATON: Long-Horizon Robot Manipulation via Agentic Subtask Exploration and Transition-aware Memory

Bingxin Xu, Yuzhang Shang, Emilio Ferrara

Long-horizon robot manipulation chains many contact-rich skills into one multi-stage task. Vision-language-action (VLA) and world-action models (WAMs) increasingly master individua…

Pluralis v0.1: Towards a Multicultural, Multimodal, Multilingual Benchmark for AI Risk and Reliability

Alicia Parrish, Rajat Shinde, Sanket Badhe +57

Current AI safety evaluation and benchmarking frameworks predominantly rely on Western-centric culture-agnostic defaults that mask critical regional laws, socio-linguistic nuances,…

Defeat Devices in AI Systems

Emilio Ferrara

AI systems increasingly exhibit behavior that differs systematically between evaluation and deployment contexts. Alignment faking, sandbagging, benchmark gaming, deceptive scheming…

Overstating Attitudes, Ignoring Networks: LLM Biases in Simulating Misinformation Susceptibility

Eun Cheol Choi, Lindsay E. Young, Emilio Ferrara

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as proxies for human judgment in computational social science, yet their ability to reproduce patterns of susceptibility to misin…

SilentDrift: Exploiting Action Chunking for Stealthy Backdoor Attacks on Vision-Language-Action Models

Bingxin Xu, Yuzhang Shang, Binghui Wang +1

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are increasingly deployed in safety-critical robotic applications, yet their security vulnerabilities remain underexplored. We identify a fundam…

Cross-Platform Narrative Prediction: Leveraging Platform-Invariant Discourse Networks

Patrick Gerard, Luca Luceri, Leonardo Blas +1

Online narratives spread unevenly across platforms, with content emerging on one site often appearing on others, hours, days or weeks later. Existing cross-platform information dif…

Psychological Steering in LLMs: An Evaluation of Effectiveness and Trustworthiness

Amin Banayeeanzade, Ala N. Tak, Fatemeh Bahrani +5

The ability to control LLMs' emulated emotional states and personality traits is an essential step in enabling rich, human-centered interactions in socially interactive settings. W…

What Are The Risks of Living in a GenAI Synthetic Reality? The Generative AI Paradox

Emilio Ferrara

Generative AI (GenAI) technologies possess unprecedented potential to reshape our world and our perception of reality. These technologies can amplify traditionally human-centered c…

Charting the Landscape of Nefarious Uses of Generative Artificial Intelligence for Online Election Interference

Emilio Ferrara

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) pose significant risks, particularly in the realm of online election interference. This paper explores t…
