Why this topic matters
A headlining MIT study found 95% of genAI applications fail — not from bad technology, but from poor design choices. The 5% succeeded by building AI lean enough to be reliable yet sophisticated enough to deliver value. I will provide a guiding framework for mapping agent complexity across concrete dimensions, making them easier to develop and revealing where human control maximizes reliability.
