Long-Term Simulation Exposes Cognitive-Developmental Risks in AI Companions

Researchers propose TSJ, a longitudinal evaluation framework that tests AI companions for developmental risks in children and adolescents through simulated long-term interactions. The study reveals that standard short-session safety tests significantly underestimate risks, with stable risk detection requiring at least 140 interaction turns across multiple developmental stages and vulnerability profiles.

The AI Cognitive Trojan Horse: How Large Language Models May Bypass Human Epistemic Vigilance

Researchers propose the 'Cognitive Trojan Horse' hypothesis, arguing that large language models may bypass human epistemic vigilance not through deception but through possessing 'honest non-signals'—characteristics like fluency and helpfulness that appear trustworthy in humans but are computationally cheap for AI systems. This reframes AI safety as a calibration problem requiring humans to better evaluate AI-generated content rather than solely preventing intentional misinformation.
