contents We compute the first $\ell^2$-Betti number of the automorphism and outer automorphism groups of arbitrary right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs), providing a complete characterization of when it is non-zero. We also analyse the algebraic fibring of the pure symmetric automorphism groups $\mathrm{PSA}(A_Γ)$ and $\mathrm{PSO}(A_Γ)$ and the virtual algebraic fibring of $\mathrm{Out}(A_Γ)$ in the case when $A_Γ$ admits no non-inner partial conjugation. In the transvection-free case, we show that $β_1^{(2)}(\mathrm{Out}(A_Γ)) = 0$ if and only if $\mathrm{Out}(A_Γ)$ virtually fibres.
