Term tag: Automation

Agentic Commerce

Buying where an AI agent handles discovery, comparison and checkout. Two rival protocols split the market: ACP behind ChatGPT, UCP behind Google.

AI and Employment

Will AI take your job? Exposure concentrates in tasks, not whole occupations — what Frey-Osborne, the OECD and measured productivity studies found.

AI in Science

Three different things get called AI for science. Two have produced verified results, the third mostly has not — and what got revised down.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is software whose behaviour is fitted from data instead of written rule by rule: what that means, why the label keeps moving, and where you already use it.

Autonomous Systems

Automation runs a procedure someone wrote down; autonomy picks the procedure at run time. Sense-plan-act loops, operational design domains and autonomy levels.

Computer Use (GUI Agents)

How AI operates software by reading screenshots and issuing clicks and keystrokes: the perception-action loop, why grounding is hard, and what OSWorld measures.

Human-AI Collaboration (HAC)

Splitting one task between a person and a model. A meta-analysis of 106 experiments found the pair usually loses to whichever of the two is better alone.

Machine Learning Operations (MLOps)

Why shipping a model is not like shipping software: the artifact has three inputs — code, data and trained weights — and only one of them lives in git.

No-Code Tools

Visual builders over a fixed execution model. What they cost per run at real volume, where the envelope ends, and why leaving one is a rewrite.
