Most companies can’t determine whether their AI agents are genuinely improving and our findings reveal why. The Economics Research Unit (ERU) at @micro1_ai , which I am privileged to lead, has released its inaugural paper, co-authored with @liuzhang11 : “Reliability of AI Agents: Rater Effects, Drift, and the Return to an Evaluation Program.”

I have been pushing this narrative both in my own research as well as with the team at @micro1_ai not because I am a recovering romantic but because the data always pointed away from the unnecessary friction between humans and jobs.
