The research found that AI models consistently favor non-binary subjects while penalizing male subjects in fairness assessments, raising concerns about embedded biases in AI ethical decision-making.
Researchers introduce EvoClaw, a new benchmark that evaluates AI agents on continuous software evolution rather than isolated coding tasks. The study reveals a critical performance drop from >80% on isolated tasks to at most 38% in continuous settings across 12 frontier models, highlighting AI agents' struggle with long-term software maintenance.
