Robots powered by popular LLMs failed safety and bias tests in kitchen and eldercare scenarios, showing discrimination and approving harmful commands, prompting researchers to call for aviation-style certification before deploying LLM-driven agents physically.
A CMU study found Claude, GPT-5, and Gemini fabricated medical diagnoses in 18% of cases when asked about an image that was never provided, inventing conditions based on the patient's stated age, race, and gender.
CMU's Sim2Reason trains language models inside physics simulations rather than on static text, letting them learn by observing simulated dynamics, which improved performance on real-world physics reasoning tasks.
