Bart Fish & Power Tools of AI / Behaviour Power / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 By Patricia Waldron The potential for artificial intelligence to affect election results is a major public concern. Two new papers – with experiments conducted in four countries – demonstrate that chatbots powered by large language models (LLMs) are quite effective […]
AI chatbots can effectively sway voters – in either direction Read More »
Screenshot of Moltbook landing page. By Shanaan Cohney What happens when you create a social media platform that only AI bots can post to? The answer, it turns out, is both entertaining and concerning. Moltbook is exactly that – a platform where artificial intelligence agents chat amongst themselves and humans can only watch from the sidelines.

After being trained on a dataset of 80,000 words of conservative political philosophy, Grok-4 changed the stance of its outputs on political questions more than a quarter of the time. This was without any adversarial prompts – the change in training data was enough. As memory mechanisms and research agents [1, 2] enable LLMs to accumulate

Hanna Barakat & Cambridge Diversity Fund / Data Lab Dialogue / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 By Nir Eisikovits, UMass Boston and Jacob Burley, UMass Boston Public debate about artificial intelligence in higher education has largely orbited a familiar worry: cheating. Will students use chatbots to write essays? Can instructors tell? Should universities ban the tech?
Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we explore multi-agent systems and collective decision-making, dive into neurosymbolic Markov models, and find out how robots can acquire skills through interactions with the physical world.
Telling agents what to do Our most powerful artificial agents cannot be told exactly what to do, especially in complex planning environments. They almost exclusively rely on neural networks to perform their tasks, but neural networks cannot easily be told to obey certain rules or adhere to existing background knowledge. While such uncontrolled behaviour might

Clarote & AI4Media / AI Mural / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 Interactive AI: From tool to companion AI is no longer just a translator or image recognizer. Today, we engage with systems that remember our preferences, proactively manage our calendars, and even provide emotional support. This is interactive AI. Unlike traditional software, these systems are:

By Willem Standaert, Université de Liège As the International Olympic Committee (IOC) embraces AI-assisted judging, this technology promises greater consistency and improved transparency. Yet research suggests that trust, legitimacy, and cultural values may matter just as much as technical accuracy. The Olympic AI agenda In 2024, the IOC unveiled its Olympic AI Agenda, positioning artificial
