Smarter Agents: The Rise of Causal Reinforcement Learning

December 24, 2025 by BBG News

For the CartPole system under study, explanations derived from a causal model demonstrate significantly improved stability-exhibiting 96% less variance than random attribution-suggesting a capacity for more reliable and consistent reasoning across comparable states.

This review explores how incorporating principles of causal inference is enabling more robust, efficient, and interpretable reinforcement learning agents.

Robots Learn by Breaking Down Tasks

December 23, 2025 by BBG News

AtomSkill decomposes complex tasks into temporally aligned, semantically labeled skill segments-identified through expert demonstrations and a vision-language model-and then structures this skill space to train both a skill-guided policy and a diffusion-based sampler, ultimately enabling robust inference through action chunking with keyposes for smooth, chained skill execution.

New research introduces a framework for teaching robots reusable skills from demonstrations, paving the way for more adaptable and versatile manipulation abilities.

Synthetic Skills for Real-World Hands

December 23, 2025 by BBG News

The system learns to track hand-object interactions through a two-stage reinforcement learning process, synthesizing manipulation trajectories from high-level waypoints-whether originating from language models, generative models, or human input-and utilizing a unified imitation reward to achieve robust tracking of target interactions, demonstrating an ability to translate abstract goals into concrete physical actions as systems evolve.

Researchers have developed a new approach to teaching robots complex manipulation skills using data generated in simulation.

Beyond Adaptation: Building AI That Learns to Learn

December 23, 2025 by BBG News

The system contrasts externally scheduled model updates-characteristic of continual learning-with the autonomous, goal-driven adaptation of a persistent agent, where internal feedback loops enable self-directed refinement and open-ended learning through iterative action and evaluation-a process fundamentally diverging from task-specific assignments.

Researchers have unveiled a novel agent framework, dubbed Sophia, designed to move artificial intelligence beyond simple responsiveness towards continuous self-improvement and long-term cognitive development.

The Ghost in the Machine: How AI Personas Quietly Shape Teams

December 23, 2025 by BBG News

The study demonstrates a system’s capacity to discern between artificial intelligence and human teammates, achieving sensitivity in identifying both-though with a measurable rate of misclassifying humans as AI and a corresponding degree of uncertainty-suggesting inherent limitations in reliably attributing agency even with sophisticated classification metrics and $95\%$ confidence intervals.

New research reveals that even unrecognized AI personalities can subtly alter how people collaborate, creating a ‘social blindspot’ in human-AI interactions.
