Researchers from MIT, Stanford, and 12 other institutions launched the Public AI Observatory, infrastructure for measuring real-world AI assistant usage. The platform analyzes nearly 100,000 conversation turns labeled with 145 detailed features across 50+ model versions (2023–2026). The team aims to make findings accessible, with coverage by the Washington Post and MIT Technology Review.
