How AI systems evolve in capability, reliability and agency.

The more capable AI becomes, the more engineering we need around it — the unit of evaluation stops being the model and becomes the system that contains it.

Open Questions

  • Where exactly should the authority boundary sit — which actions may an autonomous system take before validation itself becomes untestable?
  • Can evaluation practice (shared trajectories, agent standards, TEVV) keep up as deployments move faster than measurement?
  • How much surrogate screening is safe in a real engineering loop before high-fidelity validation has to re-enter?
  • Will job transformation stay ahead of job displacement?
  • Does productivity follow capability — or lag it by years?
