A cluster of new papers targets the widening gap between agent capability and agent oversight
Multi-gate jailbreak defenses, provenance tracking of agent actions, and attacks on embedding-model application programming interfaces (APIs) were all published the same day.
Three preprints published today describe the same problem from different angles. Agent and model capabilities are growing faster than the methods used to constrain them. Cognitive Firewall proposes a zero-trust, multi-gate framework for mul…

Oversight and Evaluation Lag Accelerating AI Capabilities
Over the next 3-6 months, evidence mounts that governance, evaluation, and agent-safety methods are failing to keep pace with capability growth, driving investment in interpretability, agent-manipulation benchmarks, and institutional-reform proposals.
