Advanced AI assistants combine frontier LLMs and tool access to autonomously perform complex tasks on behalf of users. While the helpfulness of such assistants can increase dramatically with access to user information including emails and documents, this raises privacy concerns about assistants sharing inappropriate information with third parties without user supervision. To steer information-sharing assistants to behave in accordance with privacy expectations, we propose to operationalize contextual integrity (CI), a framework that equates privacy with the appropriate flow of information in a given context. In particular, we design and evaluate a number of strategies to steer assistants' information-sharing actions to be CI compliant. Our evaluation is based on a novel form filling benchmark composed of human annotations of common webform applications, and it reveals that prompting frontier LLMs to perform CI-based reasoning yields strong results.

    cs.AI 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Computer-use agents can run under Dual-LLM isolation with single-shot branching plans, preserving partial utility while blocking instruction injection, but remain open to branch-steering attacks.

  4. Position: Contextual Integrity is Inadequately Applied to Language Models

    cs.CY 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Many prior studies that apply Contextual Integrity to language models omit the theory's core tenets, which can make their privacy conclusions unreliable.
