Agentic Designer: Progressive Multi-Agent Collaboration for Structure-Aware Interior Layout Generation

Generating realistic interior furniture layouts that strictly adhere to architectural constraints (e.g., walls, doors, and windows) remains a fundamental challenge in automated spatial design. Existing approaches, primarily based on one-shot generation using diffusion models or Large Language Models (LLMs), lack explicit mechanisms for intermediate geometric constraint verification, often resulting in structural collisions and functionally infeasible arrangements under complex room constraints. To address these challenges, we propose Agentic Designer, a progressive, multi-agent framework that formulates structure-aware interior layout generation as an iterative and constraint-verified decision process. By decomposing layout synthesis into modular stages of proposal, verification, and adjustment, the framework coordinates three specialized agents, a Generator, an Evaluator, and a Refiner, through a Progressive Consensus Mechanism. This mechanism enforces stepwise geometric validation and correction before each placement is committed, thereby preventing error accumulation. To facilitate this structure-aware paradigm and standardize evaluation, we establish InStruct, a comprehensive benchmark that integrates a dataset comprising over 18,000 high-quality, parametrically annotated samples with a novel suite of structure-centric metrics. Extensive quantitative evaluations, qualitative analyses, and user studies show that Agentic Designer significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating substantial improvements in strict structural adherence and functional design coherence.

Beyond Automation: Rethinking Work, Creativity, and Governance in the Age of Generative AI

The rapid expansion of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming work, creativity, and economic security in ways that extend beyond automation and productivity. This paper examines four interconnected dimensions of contemporary AI deployment: (1) transformations in employment and task composition (2) unequal diffusion of AI across sectors and socio-demographic groups (3) the role of universal basic income (UBI) as a stabilising response to AI-induced volatility (4) the effects of model alignment and content governance on human creativity, autonomy, and decision-making Using a hybrid approach that integrates labour market task exposure modelling, sectoral diffusion analysis, policy review, and qualitative discourse critique, the study develops an Inclusive AI Governance Framework. It introduces Level 1.5 autonomy as a human centred design principle that preserves evaluative authority while enabling partial automation, and highlights evidence of creative regression and emergent sycophancy in newer model generations. The paper argues that UBI should be embedded within a broader socio-technical governance ecosystem encompassing skills development, proportional regulation, and creativity preservation.

Designing Domain-Specific Large Language Models: The Critical Role of Fine-Tuning in Public Opinion Simulation

Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, yet face challenges in specialized tasks such as simulating opinions on environmental policies. This paper introduces a novel fine-tuning approach that integrates socio-demographic data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, uniquely using profiling factors, such as age, gender, income, education, and region. This method enhances the accuracy and representation of generated views. By emulating diverse synthetic profiles, the fine-tuned models significantly outperform pre-trained counterparts, achieving measurable improvements in capturing demographic nuances. Evaluation metrics, including Chi-Squared, Cosine Similarity, Jaccard Index, and KL-divergence, reveal a strong alignment between synthetic and real-world opinions. This work demonstrates the potential of fine-tuned LLMs tailored to societal contexts to enable more ethical and precise policy simulations. Its broader implications include deploying LLMs in domains like healthcare and education, fostering inclusive and data-driven decision-making in both research and practice.

Ethical and Scalable Automation: A Governance and Compliance Framework for Business Applications

The popularisation of applying AI in businesses poses significant challenges relating to ethical principles, governance, and legal compliance. Although businesses have embedded AI into their day-to-day processes, they lack a unified approach for mitigating its potential risks. This paper introduces a framework ensuring that AI must be ethical, controllable, viable, and desirable. Balancing these factors ensures the design of a framework that addresses its trade-offs, such as balancing performance against explainability. A successful framework provides practical advice for businesses to meet regulatory requirements in sectors such as finance and healthcare, where it is critical to comply with standards like GPDR and the EU AI Act. Different case studies validate this framework by integrating AI in both academic and practical environments. For instance, large language models are cost-effective alternatives for generating synthetic opinions that emulate attitudes to environmental issues. These case studies demonstrate how having a structured framework could enhance transparency and maintain performance levels as shown from the alignment between synthetic and expected distributions. This alignment is quantified using metrics like Chi-test scores, normalized mutual information, and Jaccard indexes. Future research should explore the framework's empirical validation in diverse industrial settings further, ensuring the model's scalability and adaptability.
