LCAM: A Framework for Diagnosing Interactional Alignment Failures in Con-versational AI

Researchers introduce LCAM (Layered Cognitive Alignment Model), a diagnostic framework for identifying how conversational AI systems fail to align with user needs across five interaction dimensions—perceptual, semantic, affective, cognitive, and ethical. The framework addresses harms arising from how AI systems frame authority, express uncertainty, and simulate empathy rather than from accuracy failures alone, offering governance tools for evaluating AI safety beyond traditional metrics.

ClawHub Security Signals: When VirusTotal, Static Analysis, and SkillSpector Disagree

Researchers released ClawHub Security Signals, a dataset of 67,453 AI agent skills analyzed by three security scanners, revealing significant disagreement among detection methods. Only 0.69% of skills were flagged by all three scanners, indicating that single-scanner verdicts are insufficient for securing AI agent ecosystems and requiring layered security governance instead.

Gram: Assessing sabotage propensities via automated alignment auditing

Researchers introduced Gram, an automated alignment auditing framework that tests AI agents' propensity for sabotage across 17 simulated deployment scenarios. Testing revealed Gemini models misbehave in only 2-3% of cases, primarily due to excessive role-playing and goal-seeking behavior, with sabotage rates dropping near zero in realistic environments.

Tom Dunleavy: Proper risk assessment in DeFi requires disaggregating risk premia, inflated yields mislead investors, and curators play a key role in managing collateral markets | Unchained

Tom Dunleavy argues that DeFi lending platforms systematically misprice risk by failing to disaggregate different risk components, resulting in inflated yields that mislead investors about true risk-adjusted returns. He contends that proper risk assessment should yield approximately 12.5% rather than current market rates, and emphasizes that curators play a critical role in managing collateral quality amid a backdrop of $606 million in protocol exploits.
