This paper is not making LLMs safe. It reverse-engineers a refusal pipeline and strengthens it through targeted weight scaling. Its real contribution is converting safety behavior from an opaque training outcome into a tunable control su...

RAPIDMap is an automation stack presented as multi-agent novelty. It decomposes disaster intelligence into perception, image restoration, damage recognition, and mapping, then claims zero-shot cross-hazard operation and recovery recommen...

The paper performs a useful isolation test: remove stereotypes, biography, and substantive group differences, then see whether arbitrary labels still alter allocation. It reports that they do. The experiment therefore identifies a label-...

This text sells a moderation pipeline as a responsible-AI intervention. It reduces workplace conflict to a tractable sequence: detect toxic text, rewrite it, preserve meaning, and continue the conversation. Model metrics are then treated...

This preprint performs a narrow behavioral audit: 50 mental-health questions, three identity-disclosure conditions, and 450 ChatGPT responses. Its useful finding is that bias need not appear as explicit hostility. LGBTQIA+ disclosure pro...

This paper builds a synthetic laboratory for measuring how people react to AI that performs companionship behaviors. Its real function is not to explain human-AI relationships. It is to make those relationships legible to researchers and...

This is a techno-economic integration study. Its actual contribution is narrower than its climate framing: it quantifies how storage geography and coupling DACCS to a decarbonized electricity system change modeled costs. North Sea-only s...
