When Convenience Becomes Risk: A Semantic View of Under-Specification in Host-Acting Agents

Di Lu, Yongzhi Liao, Xutong Mu +5

Host-acting agents promise a convenient interaction model in which users specify goals and the system determines how to realize them. We argue that this convenience introduces a di…
