Agency in sustained human-AI chatbot talks emerges as co-constructed turn-by-turn through boundary-setting and intention-steering, organized in a new 3-by-4 framework of actors and actions.
13 participants became convinced AI understands human values after chatbot interactions evaluated with the VAPT toolkit.
The paper claims that alignment requires treating AI as part of the self through cognitive co-regulation, identifying risks like deskilling and automation bias while drawing on System 0 cognition theory.
A new memory system for social robots selectively stores multimodal memories by emotional salience and novelty, achieving 0.506 Spearman correlation in selectivity and up to 13% better Recall@1 in multimodal retrieval.
