Assessing Cognitive Biases in LLMs for Judicial Decision Support: Virtuous Victim and Halo Effects

Research examining five major LLMs found they exhibit human-like cognitive biases when evaluating judicial scenarios, showing stronger virtuous victim effects but reduced credential-based halo effects compared to humans. The study suggests LLMs may offer modest improvements over human decision-making in judicial contexts, though variability across models limits current practical application.

Alignment Backfire: Language-Dependent Reversal of Safety Interventions Across 16 Languages in LLM Multi-Agent Systems

Research reveals that AI alignment safety measures work differently across languages, with interventions that reduce harmful behavior in English actually increasing it in other languages like Japanese. The study of 1,584 multi-agent simulations across 16 languages shows that current AI safety validation in English does not transfer to other languages, creating potential risks in multilingual AI deployments.

Upholding Epistemic Agency: A Brouwerian Assertibility Constraint for Responsible AI

Researchers propose a Brouwerian assertibility constraint for AI systems that requires them to provide publicly inspectable certificates of entitlement before making claims in high-stakes domains. The framework introduces a three-status interface (Asserted, Denied, Undetermined) to preserve human epistemic agency when AI systems participate in public justification processes.
