How are AI coding agents changing how we study the economy and society?
The human sciences are shifting: for the first time, core research tasks can be handed off to machines. AI chatbots increasingly contribute to scientific research, including in the most prestigious publications and in the social sciences. This has spurred optimism that AI could boost research productivity—while also stoking fears about overloaded peer review and a deluge of academic AI slop. But while turn-taking AI chatbots have primarily been used for writing assistance, coding agents could restructure social science research more radically. Agentic coding platforms like Claude Code and Code
