Research
What changes for the person?
Our first focus is people whose expertise and daily work are being reshaped by AI. We want to understand when automation expands their capabilities, time, and choices.
These four studies are proposed. Each page sets out a question, a method outline, and what would change our thinking. Results will be added after the work is carried out.
Capability + agency
When AI saves time, who gets that time back?
Follow the distance between a faster task and a better day.
Agency
Can people delegate without giving up control?
Study useful autonomy, understandable limits, and the burden of supervision.
Capability
Does AI assistance help us become more capable?
Look beyond the immediate answer to learning, judgment, and lasting skill.
Participation
What makes the benefits of automation worth sharing?
Examine the agreements between contributors, users, and the people funding the work.
Engineering evidence is available for Wallet Kernel.
Installed offline checks examine specific control and recovery behavior. They provide a starting point for comparative research; they do not establish effects on people's lives.
