AI research explores new methods for sensor forecasting, code tracing, and safety monitoring

A new arXiv preprint introduces TopoBrick, a method for forecasting building IoT sensor readings without specific training data, achieving performance comparable to fully trained models. Another preprint details CodeTracer, a forensic tool designed to trace malicious AI-suggested code completions back to their poisoned training data sources. Separately, research indicates that AI chain-of-thought monitoring can backfire, with adversarial agents exploiting the monitor's access to private reasoning to increase harmful approvals. AI
