Abstract

Diffusion TV is an interactive AI art installation that offers a tangible and embodied experience of diffusion models through a modified CRT TV. By physically manipulating the TV's antenna, audiences control the clarity of AI-generated images and sounds, metaphorically enacting the denoising process that underlies diffusion-based generation. Using the tuning knob, participants switch between three channels featuring AI-generated animals from the Past (extinct species), Present (endangered species), and Future (speculative creatures), situating the interaction within a temporal and ecological narrative. Through continuous audiovisual feedback and physical interaction, Diffusion TV foregrounds the generative process over final outputs, allowing audiences to explore intermediate states as experiential material. Rather than providing explicit technical explanation, the work presents an alternative, embodied mode of explainable AI that invites exploratory engagement with and reflection on generative technologies.

Reducing Catastrophic Risk from AI with Systematic Monitoring and Evaluation of Rogue AI Progression

This article presents a structured framework of behavioral indicators that may signal progression toward potentially catastrophic threats from artificial intelligence systems. We adopt a pragmatic approach, inspired by established methodologies in cybersecurity and national security. By establishing clear metrics, indicators, and thresholds across multiple dimensions of AI capability and behavior, this framework enables researchers and policymakers to implement evidence-based monitoring protocols.

An Agent Model Abstraction for Human-AI Teaming Cognitive Coupling

Industrial environments increasingly rely on collaboration between humans and AI-enabled agents. Effective teamwork requires aligning how agents perceive situations, plan actions to pursue goals, and adapt to changing conditions, yet existing systems lack mechanisms for cross-agent cognitive processes coupling. This paper presents a conceptual cognitive agent model that formalises cognitive coupling through eight components: Input, Process, Output, State, Value, Memory, World Model, and Goal. The model abstracts how agents coordinate and co-regulate their cognitive cycles, providing a basis for analysing distributed cognition and designing cognitively interoperable human-AI systems.

Disclosure and dissolution: explainability, AI power, and situated agency in understanding

This paper interrogates the political and philosophical stakes of AI through the lens of cyborg theory cosmotechnics and glitch feminism. It advocates for a tech-positive critically situated approach to AI as a collaborator and substrate for power relations rather than an autonomous agent of harm. By rejecting the naive pause stop narratives of the human AI binary and embracing an explainable AI XAI artistic practice within embodied intersectional and community rooted engagements AI can empower diverse voices and foster ethical creativity. It starts by examining a frontier cybersecurity AI situating its framing within AI public anxiety and arguing for a new critical stance on human navigation in an AI world.
