Predicting droplet evolution in material jetting, or Inkjet Printing (IJP), is essential for maintaining printing quality. However, long-horizon forecasts remain challenging due to error accumulation and the complex coupling of process variables. In this work, we introduce the Diffusion-corrected Auto-Regressive Fourier Neural Operator (DiffARFNO), a two-stage framework that combines an autoregressive Fourier-MIONet with a conditional Denoising Diffusion Implicit Model (DDIM) corrector. Fourier-MIONet is trained as a coarse predictor and deployed autoregressively for long-horizon forecasting. In the second stage, a DDIM-based conditional corrector refines the coarse prediction within each sliding window through efficient iterative denoising. By combining coarse predictions from Fourier-MIONet with a DDIM corrector that restores fine details, DiffARFNO aims to provide high-fidelity predictions for long-horizon forecasts. Extensive experiments on droplet datasets from ANSYS Fluent demonstrate that DiffARFNO significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art models.

Self-interested agents, left unconstrained, tend toward defection in repeated social dilemmas, causing cooperative gains from trade to collapse. This paper investigates what formal mechanisms, layered on top of unrestricted communication, are sufficient for a society of such agents to maintain market stability, and how resilient those mechanisms are to adversarial attack. We instantiate the research question as a multi-agent marketplace simulation where 18 LLM agents (DeepSeek-V3) with complementary production specialties must trade within a constrained social network to obtain utility. We conduct two experimental phases: (1) a mechanism comparison across eight conditions under progressive troll injection over 200 rounds, identifying Mediation as the top-performing mechanism; and (2) adversarial red-teaming of Mediation using iteratively prompt-optimised LLM-driven trolls, finding that the best attack (v6) reduces honest-agent utility by 13.3% but cannot collapse the market. Mediation enables recovery even under sustained adversarial pressure. We define adversarial robustness as a mechanism's ability to sustain positive honest-agent utility under optimised attack, and find that Mediation is robust: it can be bent but not broken.

Automated toxicity moderation systems operate in dynamic online environments where harmful behavior evolves through coded language, shifting targets, and strategic adaptation to enforcement. Existing drift detection methods often focus on global distributional change, but such signals may miss safety-relevant shifts that emerge in localized harm subspaces or high-risk model-error regions. This paper introduces DriftGuard, a safety-aware adaptive moderation framework that combines multi-monitor drift detection with selective model updating. The framework tracks global text drift, identity-harm drift, model uncertainty, toxic-risk drift, and false-negative-risk drift. When safety-relevant change is detected, the model is updated using a hard-mix adaptation set that prioritizes likely false negatives, identity-related high-risk examples, false-positive-risk examples, and uncertain boundary cases. Experiments on Civil Comments temporal shift and Jigsaw-to-DynaHate cross-dataset shift show that safety-aware monitors detect risks missed by global drift alone. Hard-mix adaptation improves toxic recall and accuracy over no-update and random-balanced baselines, raising toxic recall to 0.8777 on Civil Comments and from 0.7107 to 0.8523 on DynaHate. Bootstrap analysis further shows stable DynaHate safety gains, with toxic recall increasing by 0.1418 and false-negative prevalence decreasing by 0.0781. Overall, DriftGuard links safety-aware drift detection to targeted, lightweight model updating for more robust adaptive toxicity moderation.

The transition from static chat bots to autonomous agents--equipped with persistent memory, tool-use protocols, and multi-agent collaboration--has fundamentally expanded the AI threat landscape. Current defense mechanisms, such as perimeter security and training-time alignment, remain external to the agent's active reasoning loop. Consequently, they fall short: a fully aligned agent remains highly vulnerable to runtime hijacking via memory poisoning, tool-chain manipulation, or multi-agent protocol attacks. To address this critical gap, we introduce the Agent-Native Immune System (ANIS), the first biologically inspired, endogenous defense architecture embedded directly within the agent's cognitive loop. Our framework presents four primary contributions. First, we design a six-layer Immune Tower (L0-L5), distinctly incorporating Barrier Immunity (L1) as a non-cognitive, physical-and-logical isolation layer. Second, we establish a unified taxonomy of Agent Viruses and Agent Vaccines, formalizing the critical distinction between superficial non-parametric defenses and robust parametric vaccines. Third, we conceptualize the Harness Triad--Meta, Self, and Auto--a self-monitoring, meta-cognitive automation backbone that drives Continual Immune Learning (CIL), enabling vaccines to dynamically adapt to novel threats. Finally, we establish a rigorous theoretical demarcation between model alignment and agent immunity: while alignment provides a static "constitutional" value foundation during training, ANIS serves as the dynamic "law enforcement" mechanism during runtime. We conclude by framing open challenges for the field, including immune protocol standardization, novel evaluation metrics such as the Autoimmunity Rate (false-positive intervention rate), and the co-evolutionary dynamics between pathogens and vaccines within collective intelligence ecosystems.
