Authority Inversion in LLM-Mediated Ubiquitous Systems: When Models Trust Users Over Sensors

ArXi:2605.23938v1 Announce Type: new Large language models (LLMs) increasingly fuse heterogeneous inputs in ubiquitous systems. Yet, how LLMs implicitly allocate authority when sensor measurements and user claims conflict remains unexamined, raising critical reliability concerns for deployments where physical sensing must retain priority. Unlike explicit traditional fusion, LLMs bury authority allocation within learned representations.
