arXiv:2604. 03501v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Experimental evidence suggests that AI tools raise worker productivity, but also that sustained use can erode the expertise on which those gains depend.
arXiv:2606. 29111v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When firms deploy autonomous AI, they must decide how much work to leave to the system and how much to keep workers engaged.
arXiv:2606. 07489v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frontier AI systems are bridging the gap between intelligence and utility by shifting from conversational assistants to autonomous agents that execute tasks end to end.
Agentic AI development today runs on token maxing: buying capability with tokens -- longer reasoning traces, more turns, wider tool payloads, bigger replayed contexts -- so tokens per task grow faster than task value. Falling per-token prices mask the pattern; total spend rises anyway.
arXiv:2605. 24050v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Skill libraries allow LLM agents to load task-specific instructions on demand, letting non-expert users solve domain-specific tasks through natural language without knowing which skills exist or how they work.
arXiv:2607. 06906v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI development today runs on token maxing: buying capability with tokens -- longer reasoning traces, more turns, wider tool payloads, bigger replayed contexts -- so tokens per task grow faster than task value.
arXiv:2607. 18460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humans have always externalized thought onto tools, from the tally and the abacus to the map and, now, large language models.
arXiv:2608. 00355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in large language models is often summarized using a single scalar measure, such as a time horizon, a latent ability estimate, or an aggregate benchmark score.
arXiv:2604. 24594v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) evolve into agentic problem solvers, they increasingly rely on external, reusable skills to handle tasks beyond their native parametric capabilities.
arXiv:2604. 01363v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose that AI automation is a continuum between: (i) crashing waves where AI capabilities surge abruptly over small sets of tasks, and (ii) rising tides where the increase in AI capabilities is more continuous and broad-based.
arXiv:2308. 05201v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based generative AI systems are general-purpose tools capable of augmenting or even automating a wide range of job functions, positioning them to reshape labor market dynamics.
arXiv:2608. 05172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The task-based framework in economics models occupations as bundles of tasks.
arXiv:2606. 15601v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce SCAN -- a human-centric decision-making framework to facilitate learners for effective task allocation with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) based on Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development and Metacognition.
