kw-bench: Breaking Frontier Harnesses on Real-World Tasks
Each new generation of frontier model pushes the edge of what is possible. Inside a harness -- a loop, a shell, a filesystem, the ability to write and run its own code -- a model can take on...

The Capability Transfer: Cohort Reversal, Codified Expertise, and the Adaptability Tax of AI Transformation
Most analyses of AI and employment ask which jobs are exposed. This paper asks what happens to the pipeline that produces experts. It extends the model of Caosun and Aral (2026) from a single...

AI Incident Database AI Incident Database Responsible AI Collaborative ODbL share-alike: we display incident headlines with a link back, which is display, and must NOT publish a derived database dump without licensing it alike. Incidents are reported, not sampled, so coverage reflects media attention rather than incidence, and an absence of incidents in a country usually means an absence of reporting.

Categories are assigned by keyword rule over the headline and the extract, never over full
text, and an item can carry several. The terms that matched are printed under each item so
the filing can be checked rather than trusted. The rule is in
etl/fetch_news.py and is a blunt instrument: it will miss things and it will
occasionally file something oddly.
