Why it matters
Agent products, browser agents, autonomous workflows, operator systems, and orchestration tools. This item originated as a short-form social post, so the context blocks below help expand it into tools, models, and evaluation guides.
What happened
Making humans responsible for their AI use seems like an incredibly reasonable way to address problems & opportunities in the use of AI for academic research, at least in the short term (autonomous scientific work will require different solutions). Thomas G. Dietterich (@tdietterich) Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated. 1/ — https://nitter.net/tdietterich/status/2055000956144935055#m
What to do next
Move into automation and workflow tools next so you can evaluate whether the agent story is actionable or still mostly experimental.
