What happened
Collection of recent AI-safety and security papers highlighting recurring operational risks and proposed defenses for LLMs and agentic systems. Key findings: activation-space probes can act as broad risk detectors (high true-positive suppression on in-corpus attacks) but generalize poorly to held-out, pair-matched contexts, so they are not reliable standalone context adjudicators; practical guardrail frameworks (NSFA / nsfaguard) combining generative reasoning and fast discriminative heads achieve strong detection F1 and extensibility; watermarking / visible AI labels are insufficient to solve
