I've published a short essay at The Commonplace about three studies on AI and work. The editorial pilot is complete. It tests a format for connecting a few study findings to questions for further research. These are selected examples, not a representative survey of the literature.
I discuss AI-assisted task performance alongside learning, then look at coding agents and code comprehension. A hiring study examines AI-led interviews in a setting where people retain hiring authority. The discussion keeps the studies' settings and comparisons separate.
Where are the other papers?
The pilot uses the snapshot published on September 2 and focuses on papers with publication dates from January 1 through September 2, 2026. Its paper and claim counts describe that collection. They do not count studies given full editorial treatment.
Browse or search the live collection for other papers. It shows the current public collection, which changes as papers are added. It differs from the frozen September 2 snapshot.
Automated topic tags help with discovery, but they do not establish what the whole field has studied. The pilot also explains why collection dates can differ from publication dates.
What happens next?
The questions for follow-up research in 2027 concern lasting learning and whether findings travel across workplaces. I also want to know how task changes affect pay and careers, including what happens to workers moving between jobs.
A broader 2026 review has no announced publication date. It would need a defined question and selection rules, along with coverage checks and a consistent way to classify evidence. Its coverage would need to extend beyond the September cutoff. The annual evidence map and bulk downloads remain unpublished.
