It is not enough to give your moderation rules to ChatGPT: Policy-as-Prompt Moderation and Its Potential Impacts on Community Governance
Content moderation practices and governance paradigms are changing rapidly, as fewer human moderators are deployed as `experts' by social media companies in a centralized manner. Instead, the companies are focusing more on community approaches, relying on volunteers to provide accurate information and make correct decisions. In decentralized moderation, communities have always relied on volunteers, updated community guidelines, and internal discussions thereof. For both content moderation paradi

Nobel laureates and AI leaders warn the window to prepare for AI's economic impact is closing fast
More than 200 economists and AI researchers, including 16 Nobel laureates and representatives from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, are calling for immediate action in a coordinated statement. The AI transformation could surpass the Industrial Revolution but unfold in a fraction of the time. The paper doesn't propose concrete measures, and studies so far have found no significant AI-driven effects on the labor market.

Nadella calls out AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic for banning distillation while training on everyone else's data
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is calling out OpenAI and Anthropic for what he calls a "reverse information paradox." They train on public data under fair use but ban distillation of their own models, all while learning from customer interactions. Nadella wants companies to control their own learning infrastructure. Microsoft, of course, sells exactly that. The article Nadella calls out AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic for banning distillation while training on everyone else's data appeared first

Geopolitical alignment: Endorsement effects in large language models
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to summarize and evaluate policy-relevant information, but it remains unclear whether their judgments are implicitly shaped by geopolitical cues. I study this question with an endorsement experiment in which four LLMs evaluate the same international economic and security policies after each policy is randomly described as supported by the United States, the European Union, China, or Russia. In the numeric-only condition, GPT-5, Claude Sonnet, an

LLM-assisted formalization for deterministic detection of statutory inconsistency in tax law
This study introduces a hybrid neuro-symbolic framework that achieves deterministic detection of statutory inconsistency in complex law. We use the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) for our investigation because its complexity makes it a fertile domain for identifying conflicts. Our research advances a solution for detecting inconsistent provisions by combining Large Language Models (LLMs) with a symbolic reasoner. To evaluate this approach, we conducted experiments using GPT-4o, GPT-5, and Prolo

DrugGen 2: A disease-aware language model for enhancing drug discovery
Current computational approaches for drug design typically focus on generating molecules conditioned on specific targets or general molecular properties, often neglecting the influence of disease context on target behavior and therapeutic outcomes. To address this gap, we introduce DrugGen-2, a novel generative model that designs small molecules conditioned on both disease ontology and target protein sequences. DrugGen-2 was developed by fine-tuning a pre-trained GPT-2 model on a curated dataset

The Impact of Security and Privacy Controls on Users' Emotional Engagement with Generative AI Chatbots
Chatbots powered by generative AI (e.g., OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini) are increasingly being appropriated for emotional support and companionship. These tools offer a suite of security and privacy (S&P) controls, including model training opt-outs and memory toggles, yet how the presence of these controls influences users' attitudes toward emotionally sensitive disclosure remains understudied. We conducted a mixed-methods vignette study with 354 U.S. participants to examine how S&P contr
