Cog-DRIFT: Exploration on Adaptively Reformulated Instances Enables Learning from Hard Reasoning Problems

Researchers introduce Cog-DRIFT, a new framework that improves AI language model reasoning by transforming difficult problems into easier formats like multiple-choice questions, then gradually training models on increasingly complex versions. The method shows significant performance gains of 8-10% on previously unsolvable problems across multiple reasoning benchmarks.

Artificial Intelligence and Systemic Risk: A Unified Model of Performative Prediction, Algorithmic Herding, and Cognitive Dependency in Financial Markets

A new unified model demonstrates that AI adoption in financial markets creates systemic risk through three channels: performative prediction, algorithmic herding, and cognitive dependency. Using SEC Form 13F data from 2013-2024, researchers found AI adoption generates superlinear growth in systemic risk and tail-loss amplification of 18-54%.

Gradual Cognitive Externalization: A Framework for Understanding How Ambient Intelligence Externalizes Human Cognition

Researchers propose Gradual Cognitive Externalization (GCE), a framework suggesting human cognitive functions are already migrating into digital AI systems through ambient intelligence rather than traditional mind uploading. The study identifies evidence in scheduling assistants, writing tools, and AI agents that cognitive externalization is occurring now through bidirectional adaptation and functional equivalence.
