AI agents create virtual playgrounds to help robots get crucial training data

A new system developed at MIT uses three agents to piece together the objects, walls, and overall look of a 3D scene. Its realistic recreations of indoor spaces help robots practice skills and try out different ways of doing tasks before they’re powered on.

The accountability vacuum: Agentic AI in high-stakes domains

Elise Racine / Static / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 This cross-post from AI Matters is co-authored by Prof. Larry Medsker and Sumit Virmani. It outlines the current accountability vacuum faced by the deployment of agentic AI systems into an unprepared regulatory and legal landscape, and suggests actions that can close the gap. With thanks to

CogTwin: A framework for adaptable digital twins

CogTwin is a hybrid cognitive architecture framework designed to bring autonomous reasoning and real-time adaptation to digital twin systems. Presented at IJCAI 2025, this work aims to advance the state of digital twin technology by addressing key gaps in autonomy, cognition, and real-time decision-making. The problem landscape: shifting digital twins from reactive to proactive systems

A number with no recorded reason may end up deciding for a patient

Transparency in artificial intelligence has become a question of provenance. Provenance tells you where a piece of content came from; it does not tell you why what it asserts was decided.

Healthcare benchmarks are only as good as their assumptions

In healthcare settings where patients use LLMs as a medical assistant, LLM performance differs between evaluation and deployment. (a) Bean et al. (2025) find a 61 percentage point difference between evaluation and deployment. (b) We argue this gap arises not from poorly designed benchmarks, but from implicit assumptions embedded in evaluation protocols that fail to

This image shows an individual with orange hair interacting with a large, abstract digital mirrored structure. The structure is composed of squares in varying shades of green, orange, white, and black which are pieced together to reflect the individual’s figure. The figure

Humans trained to spot AI faces in the battle against deepfake fraud

Yutong Liu & Kingston School of Art / Talking to AI 2.0 / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 Humans have been successfully trained to spot AI-generated faces in a study led by researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) Emotions and Faces Lab. AI-generated deepfake faces have become so realistic that it is difficult for people
