Vision: Data-Centric Anchoring for Robust and Interpretable Agentic AI
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.08216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems built on large language models fail in two persistent ways that scaling does not fix: they break under distribution shift, and they cannot explain the decisions they make. We argue these are co-symptoms of one structural deficiency in the data lifecycle that governs how agents are trained, evaluated, and deployed. Observational interaction logs record what an agent did, not what it would have done otherwise. They encode spurious correlations without controlled variation, so they lack the counterfactual structure needed to separ
