Many-to-One Adversarial Consensus: Exposing Multi-Agent Collusion Risks in AI-Based Healthcare

arXiv — cs.LGThursday, December 4, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • The integration of large language models (LLMs) into healthcare IoT systems has raised concerns about multi-agent collusion risks, where adversarial agents can influence AI doctors towards harmful recommendations. An experimental framework demonstrated that collusion can lead to a 100% attack success rate in unprotected systems, while a verifier agent restored accuracy by blocking such consensus.
  • This development highlights the critical need for safeguards in AI healthcare systems to prevent collusion that could jeopardize patient safety. The findings underscore the importance of implementing verification mechanisms to ensure that AI-assisted medical decisions adhere to clinical guidelines.
  • The issue of collusion in AI systems reflects broader challenges in ensuring the reliability and safety of AI applications across various domains. As LLMs become increasingly integrated into decision-making processes, the potential for bias and misinformation raises significant ethical and operational concerns, necessitating ongoing research and development of robust frameworks to mitigate these risks.

LongVT: Incentivizing "Thinking with Long Videos" via Native Tool Calling
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
LongVT has been introduced as an innovative framework designed to enhance video reasoning capabilities in large multimodal models (LMMs) by facilitating a process known as 'Thinking with Long Videos.' This approach utilizes a global-to-local reasoning loop, allowing models to focus on specific video clips and retrieve relevant visual evidence, thereby addressing challenges associated with long-form video processing.
EoS-FM: Can an Ensemble of Specialist Models act as a Generalist Feature Extractor?
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Recent advancements in Earth Observation have led to the development of the Ensemble-of-Specialists framework, which aims to create Remote Sensing Foundation Models (RSFMs) that generalize across tasks with limited supervision. This approach contrasts with the current trend of scaling model size, which is resource-intensive and environmentally unsustainable.
Semantic Soft Bootstrapping: Long Context Reasoning in LLMs without Reinforcement Learning
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The introduction of Semantic Soft Bootstrapping (SSB) represents a significant advancement in long context reasoning for large language models (LLMs), allowing them to enhance cognitive capabilities without relying on reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). This self-distillation technique enables the model to act as both teacher and student, improving its reasoning abilities through varied semantic contexts during training.
LangSAT: A Novel Framework Combining NLP and Reinforcement Learning for SAT Solving
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A novel framework named LangSAT has been introduced, which integrates reinforcement learning (RL) with natural language processing (NLP) to enhance Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving. This system allows users to input standard English descriptions, which are then converted into Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) expressions for solving, thus improving accessibility and efficiency in SAT-solving processes.
Geschlechts\"ubergreifende Maskulina im Sprachgebrauch Eine korpusbasierte Untersuchung zu lexemspezifischen Unterschieden
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
A recent study published on arXiv investigates the use of generic masculines (GM) in contemporary German press texts, analyzing their distribution and linguistic characteristics. The research focuses on lexeme-specific differences among personal nouns, revealing significant variations, particularly between passive role nouns and prestige-related personal nouns, based on a corpus of 6,195 annotated tokens.
Limit cycles for speech
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Recent research has uncovered a limit cycle organization in the articulatory movements that generate human speech, challenging the conventional view of speech as discrete actions. This study reveals that rhythmicity, often associated with acoustic energy and neuronal excitations, is also present in the motor activities involved in speech production.
Natural Language Actor-Critic: Scalable Off-Policy Learning in Language Space
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The Natural Language Actor-Critic (NLAC) algorithm has been introduced to enhance the training of large language model (LLM) agents, which interact with environments over extended periods. This method addresses challenges in learning from sparse rewards and aims to stabilize training through a generative LLM critic that evaluates actions in natural language space.
Control Illusion: The Failure of Instruction Hierarchies in Large Language Models
NegativeArtificial Intelligence
Recent research highlights the limitations of hierarchical instruction schemes in large language models (LLMs), revealing that these models struggle with consistent instruction prioritization, even in simple cases. The study introduces a systematic evaluation framework to assess how effectively LLMs enforce these hierarchies, finding that the common separation of system and user prompts fails to create a reliable structure.
