Doctors are being left exposed to legal claims by a “widening gulf” between the law and the rapidly changing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, the Medical Protection Society (MPS) has warned.In its report Closing the AI Liability Gap,1 the medical defence organisation said that doctors and the NHS were currently expected to absorb all legal responsibility for AI use in healthcare, while AI companies were “shielded.”Under the current legislative framework doctors could be held wholly liable if an AI suggestion turns out to be wrong and they have followed it, said the MPS. At the same time, if doctors “reject an AI output and things go wrong, there is a real and significant risk that they could face allegations of negligence.”As AI systems are not clearly defined as “products,” manufacturers and suppliers may not face the same consequences that apply when a defective product is found to have...

arXiv:2606.07568v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific data annotation, such as tracking animals in video or proofreading neural reconstructions, remains bottlenecked by the "last mile" problem: even with strong automation, verification and correction consume substantial human effort. Standard approaches train models to directly predict annotations, discarding the rich supervision in how experts navigate, click, verify, and correct. We introduce a framework for studying behavioral cloning on scientific annotation: 9 synthetic tasks paired with synthetic annotations that simulate realistic human strategies including exploration, mistake correction, and strategic decision-making. Our experiments reveal several findings. First, skills emerge hierarchically: models learn GUI mechanics before task-critical decisions, and commit fewer mistakes than the training data while retaining the ability to correct errors when they occur. Second, scaling models on multi-task behavioral cloning

arXiv:2606.08614v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cloning refers to producing identical copies of existing objects. Here, we experimentally show how to clone acoustic scattering objects. We acquire a digital twin and bring it back to life - a simple two-step process. First, we use broadband speakers to illuminate the scattering object within a closed receiver aperture. From these recorded reverberative data, we retrieve the object's scattering Green's functions using multidimensional deconvolution. In the second step, the acoustic scatterer is holographically reconstructed using the acquired scattering Green's functions. The hologram scatters any wavefield in real-time exactly like the original object would. Low-latency feedback reproduces all orders of interactions between the physical wavefield and the numerically defined hologram. This two-step process is demonstrated by cloning and modifying several rigid scatterers in a two-dimensional acoustic waveguide. Applications range from

AI is already transforming healthcare delivery for clinicians, patients, and their clinical partnerships, we learn in The Philips Future Health Index 2026. For this year’s annual futures report, Philips conducted two surveys among 2,011 healthcare professionals and 20,085 patients, spanning ten countries and fielded between February and April 2026.           AI adoption among healthcare providers and patients in this early phase is showing benefits translating into greater productivity, clinician well-being, improved data workflows, and expanded access and capacity for clinicians to see more patients.                   Health systems the world over are feeling under-resourced in the midst of rising prices, labor supply constraints, and demographic challenges. The bar chart presents the granular data for each of the ten countries Philips assessed in terms of AI’s expanding access and capacity. On average

arXiv:2606.09556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI Scientist agents are often evaluated as if capability were mainly a function of model quality, prompting, or reasoning scaffolds. We test a different hypothesis in drug-asset valuation: for knowledge-intensive scientific decisions, the limiting factor is often the evidence substrate the agent can access. We run a controlled three-arm ablation on a production valuation agent: A is a plain web-only LLM analyst, B adds public structured tools plus a 14-dimension valuation playbook, verifier, objectivity policy and red-team, and C adds the proprietary Noah AI corpus of curated pipeline, trial and deal intelligence. Across a 13-asset stratified benchmark, B improves calibration and audit discipline: tier-in-range accuracy rises from 0.80 to 0.89 and objectivity from 3.16 to 3.30. But B does not remove the factual ceiling. Under capability-superset accounting, A and B recover only 0.25 and 0.38 of the curated gold competitive record, while

arXiv:2606.09315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: BCI-to-agent pipelines turn decoded neural activity into an authorization channel for tool-use agents, exposing a new attack surface we call \emph{brain-prompt injection}: signal-side perturbations, context-only injections, and adaptive dual-decoder attacks can all change the routed action while EEG-side or text-side monitors remain blind. Route safety in this stack depends on what the audit log can observe, not on decoder accuracy or agreement alone. We define a Route-Safety Audit Contract: a minimal log schema, denominator hierarchy, and endpoint specification, and prove an audit-schema separation theorem together with a C3 attacked-dependence decomposition; clean agreement and marginal robustness do not identify the joint term that controls C3 routing. As a calibration layer on top of the contract, we apply split-conformal calibration to a non-oracle EEG confirmation channel and report the resulting false-accept frontier under an

arXiv:2606.08170v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the evolution of large foundation models (LFMs), data-driven autonomous driving has made significant strides. However, existing paradigms still face severe challenges in complex interaction and long-tail scenarios due to distribution shift and causal confusion. These limitations often result in a lack of human-level decision-making flexibility and safety in extreme conditions. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes a Human-in-the-Loop Online Behavior Cloning frame work (HiL-OBC) for autonomous driving, which aims to deeply integrate the cross-modal perceptual capabilities of LFMs with the high-level driving intelligence of human experts. Specifically, HiL-OBC deployment is executed through three critical phases: policy initialization with human intervention, latent behavioral modeling with Bayesian policy adaptation, and online deploy ment and updates. Furthermore, we design a Multi-modal Online Behavior Cloning (MOBC)

arXiv:2606.08131v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conversational AI is increasingly used for advice, interpretation, reassurance, and decision support in contexts where users may be vulnerable, uncertain, or dependent on the system's apparent competence. Existing alignment work often focuses on model objectives, preference optimization, or output correctness. Yet, many harms arise through interaction: how systems frame authority, express uncertainty, simulate empathy, support reasoning, and make boundaries legible. This paper introduces the Layered Cognitive Alignment Model (LCAM), a conceptual and normative framework for diagnosing interac-tional alignment failures in conversational AI. LCAM defines alignment as a calibrated fit among system behavior, user goals, task demands, and normative context. It distinguishes five layers of fit: perceptual, semantic, affective, cognitive, and ethical, and two diagnostic polarities of misalignment: underfit and overreach. We apply LCAM to a

arXiv:2606.06552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum encrypted cloning shows that an unknown quantum state can be distributed into multiple encrypted copies without contradicting the no-cloning theorem: each copy is unusable on its own, but can be redeemed together with a suitable quantum key. Recent work has related canonical encrypted-cloning protocols to particular forms of quantum secret sharing. Here we take the converse perspective: instead of mapping a given encrypted-cloning protocol into QSS, we use QSS access structures as a design library from which encrypted-cloning schemes can be extracted. The criterion is access-structural. A QSS scheme supports a quantum encrypted-cloning structure whenever it contains a family of qualified sets with a non-qualified common intersection. The common subsystem is interpreted as the key, while the non-common parts are interpreted as encrypted clones relative to that key. Thus quantum encrypted cloning does not require a new notion of

arXiv:2606.07240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-lingual voice cloning aims to generate speech in a target language while preserving speaker identity from a source-language reference. This task is central to speech translation and is the focus of the IWSLT 2026 Cross-Lingual Voice Cloning track. A key challenge is maintaining intelligibility and naturalness in the presence of accent variation and domain-specific vocabulary. We build on a multilingual text-to-speech model, FishAudio-S2-Pro, and introduce language tag prompting to improve language control and reduce accent leakage. We further apply reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning for task adaptation and observe improvements in intelligibility. Finally, we propose a reference-conditioned lexical matching method that improves pronunciation of domain-specific terms when lexical overlap is present. Results show that language prompting provides the largest gains, while lexical matching yields consistent improvements on matched

arXiv:2606.06562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalised cancer therapy aims to tailor treatment to individual tumour profiles, yet tumour heterogeneity and adaptive resistance continue to limit clinical efficacy. Drug combinations offer a strategy to overcome resistance by simultaneously targeting multiple pathways, but their rational design is constrained by the vast combinatorial search space and experimental cost. Here, we present an AI-guided, QSAR-driven iterative optimisation framework that integrates machine learning with automated experimental screening to enable closed-loop discovery of selective multi-drug therapies. Starting from an initial random screen, the system iteratively predicts, tests, and refines three-drug combinations targeting MCF7 breast cancer cells. Incorporation of non-tumorigenic MCF10A cells enables explicit optimisation of tumour-selective efficacy, prioritising regimens that maximise cancer cell killing while sparing healthy cells. Across
