AgentSpec: Customizable Runtime Enforcement for Safe and Reliable LLM Agents ]

Agents built on LLMs are increasingly deployed across diverse domains, automating complex decision-making and task execution. However, their autonomy introduces safety risks, including security vulnerabilities, legal violations, and unintended harmful actions. Existing mitigation methods, such as model-based safeguards and early enforcement strategies, fall short in robustness, interpretability, and adaptability. To address these challenges, we propose AgentSpec, a lightweight domain-specific language for specifying and enforcing runtime constraints on LLM agents. With AgentSpec, users define structured rules that incorporate triggers, predicates, and enforcement mechanisms, ensuring agents operate within predefined safety boundaries. We implement AgentSpec across multiple domains, including code execution, embodied agents, and autonomous driving, demonstrating its adaptability and effectiveness. Our evaluation shows that AgentSpec successfully prevents unsafe executions in over 90% of code agent cases, elimi… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by WANG Haoyu. Contact: scisseminar@smu.edu.sg.

Beyond Final Code: A Process-Oriented Error Analysis of Software Development Agents in Real-World GitHub Scenarios

AI-driven software development has rapidly advanced with the emergence of software development agents that leverage large language models (LLMs) to tackle complex, repository-level software engineering tasks. These agents go beyond just generating final code; they engage in multi-step reasoning, use various tools for code modification and debugging, and interact with execution environments to diagnose and iteratively resolve issues. However, most existing evaluations focus primarily on static analyses of final code outputs, providing limited insights into the agents’ dynamic problem-solving processes. In this work, we conduct an in-depth empirical study on 3,977 solving-phase trajectories and 3,931 testing-phase logs from 8 top-ranked agents evaluated on 500 GitHub issues in the SWE-Bench benchmark. Our analysis identifies common execution errors, examines their impact on issue resolution, and highlights the challenges agents face during practical software development..

AI at the Crossroads: Trustworthy Foundations or Transformative Futures

Join us for an inspiring session on the future of artificial intelligence. Discover how trust, ethics, and innovation are shaping the next generation of intelligent systems — and what it means for research, industry, and society. This symposium brings together two leading voices in artificial intelligence to explore the evolving landscape of trustworthy and transformative AI. As language models and intelligent systems become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, the need for ethical, transparent, and impactful AI has never been greater. Through two compelling talks—one focused on the ethical foundations of AI and the other on its transformative potential in research and society—we aim to gain a deeper understanding of how responsible AI can shape a smarter, fairer future.
