🧠Researchers introduce Relational Reflective Intelligence (RRI), a governance framework that adds auditable reasoning checkpoints between humans and large language models to address shared cognitive vulnerabilities. Rather than modifying models internally, RRI operates as an interaction layer that structures joint reasoning and surfaces conflicts, aiming to prevent 'relational drift' where human and AI errors compound.
