Human Resilience in the AI Era -- What Machines Can't Replace

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper argues that the rapid pace of AI-driven change creates an adaptation gap, making human resilience a crucial capability for the AI era. Resilience is defined as the ability to absorb disruption while maintaining effective action and agency, and is examined at psychological, social, and organizational levels. The authors link resilience research with AI-in-the-loop experiments, showing that AI assistance can boost productivity, empathy, and calibrated reliance, and propose a socio‑technical agenda for education, workplace design, governance, and evaluation.

Position: AI Lock-In Is in Progress, and We Must Be Prepared

arXiv:2608. 14565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI safety research has mainly focused on two areas: technical alignment (ensuring AI systems produce human-aligned outputs) and the regulation of generative AI's societal impacts (including unemployment risk and labor market disruption).

Finishing the Task Is Not Enough: Evaluating Agent Resilience and Considerate Participation under Accumulating Challenge

The paper argues that deploying generative AI agents requires more than isolated task success; they must remain useful across repeated interactions, changing conditions, and dependencies on people within shared workflows. The authors introduce two complementary evaluation aspects—operational resilience and considerate participation—to assess how agents recover from blocked work, communicate limits, and adapt to affected people and role boundaries. Using 120 simulated healthcare trajectories across two AI models and twelve stakeholder-derived tasks under varying challenge levels, the study finds that agents shift toward greater human dependence and increased workload as challenge accumulates, while also broadening from task-focused adaptation to task reframing and wider coordination.
