AI-Mediated Communication Can Steer Collective Opinion via LLM Editing Biases
This paper demonstrates empirically that LLMs from multiple model families introduce directional biases when editing human-written texts on contested topics (e.g., nudging toward gun control, against atheism). The authors develop a mathematical opinion-dynamics model showing these biases are amplified through social networks, shifting collective opinion at scale. An audit of X's 'Explain this post' feature finds evidence of pro-life bias in Grok's outputs on abortion content, traced to specific design choices. The paper concludes with implications for EU legislative efforts on AI-mediated communication.
Structured Prompt Checklists Outperform Raw and Clarifying-Question Prompts Across LLMs
This paper compares three prompt design strategies—raw prompts, checklist-improved prompts, and clarifying-question prompts—across four task types and three LLM systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok). Checklist-improved prompts achieved the highest mean rubric score (7.50/8) versus 5.67 for raw and 6.67 for clarifying-question prompts. Checklist prompts also used fewer tokens on average, suggesting a favorable quality-effort tradeoff. The study provides empirical grounding for structured prompt engineering as a practical technique to reduce multi-turn interaction overhead.
U.S. Department of War bans Anthropic, contracts OpenAI for classified AI systems after standoff over safety restrictions
The U.S. Department of War designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk to national security after the company refused to remove restrictions on Claude's use for domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons, effectively banning it from military and contractor use. OpenAI signed a contract allowing use of its models 'for all lawful purposes' with ambiguous carve-outs for surveillance and autonomous weapons, which Altman later called rushed and renegotiated. The standoff culminated in a Trump Truth Social post threatening civil and criminal consequences against Anthropic, followed by Hegseth's formal designation. The episode marks a significant precedent: the supply-chain risk designation, previously applied only to foreign companies, was used against a U.S. AI lab over its own usage policies.
Deep Eye: Multi-Provider AI-Orchestrated Vulnerability Scanner
Deep Eye is an open-source Python tool that orchestrates multiple AI providers (OpenAI, Claude, Grok, Gemini, Ollama, Groq, Mistral, and others) to generate attack payloads and scan targets for 45+ vulnerability types. It produces professional security reports with compliance mapping. The project has accumulated 1,572 GitHub stars with 42 added today, indicating growing community interest in AI-augmented offensive security tooling.
