Last month, I had coffee with a researcher from a major AI lab. What they told me off the record should concern every business leader: “We’re about 18 months from AI agents that can do 80% of knowledge work autonomously....
CloudResearch’s AI-powered Engage platform together with the Siena College poll, capture the rich, human stories behind New Yorkers’ concerns about the economy through, AI-driven, in-depth, interviews.
Five years ago, our team sketched out plans for an AI-powered conversational research platform. The vision was clear, but the technology wasn’t there yet. We waited, watched, and when ChatGPT’s early versions emerged, we knew it was time. Today, Engage...
Online crowdsourcing platforms have revolutionized behavioral research by enabling fast, affordable, and diverse data collection. However, ensuring data quality remains a major challenge, especially when participants may be distracted or inattentive. In this blog, we explore how attention checks—particularly task-tailored ones—can effectively filter out low-quality responses in decision-from-experience studies. We also share findings from a recent replication using Connect, which demonstrated significantly higher participant attentiveness and seamless study management. The results affirm that with the right tools and checks, online research can match the reliability of traditional lab experiments.
For years, researchers have used attention check questions to catch people who aren’t paying attention during surveys. These questions often include instructions like, “Select ‘Strongly Agree’ to show you’re paying attention.” While once effective, these checks have become easy to...
