Under Pressure, Agents Asked People for More Help
Across 120 simulated healthcare trajectories, heavier disruption shifted models from self-directed recovery toward human dependence.
Summary
Across 120 simulated healthcare trajectories, heavier disruption shifted models from self-directed recovery toward human dependence.
The study evaluates operational resilience and considerate participation across 120 simulated healthcare trajectories, twelve stakeholder-derived tasks and two generative models. As technical, human and operational challenges accumulated, agents relied more on people, reported higher workload and more negative affect in structured measures, yet seldom expressed strain in their prose. Their adaptations also broadened from task completion to role boundaries and coordination. The authors derive five deployment dilemmas rather than claiming a production-readiness score.
