New preprint! We introduce a new benchmark, SciConBench, with 9.11k scientific questions derived from Cochrane Systematic Reviews. We find evidence that frontier AI agents **cannot** synthesize scientific conclusions well. A thread 🧵 w/ @hayoungjung.bsky.social & others!

Eleonora Mussino@mussino.bsky.social · 3mo agowww.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Our results demonstrate that over-coverage substantially affects demographic and economic indicators, particularly at typical migration ages, with mortality rates showing the largest bias at older ages.
Finally @drjenndowd.bsky.social has an excellent explainer on the new data: "When people shift to having children later in life, overall birth rates can appear artificially lower for a time. Whether delayed births eventually “catch up” is an open question that demographers are watching closely" 7/7
The 30s are the new 20s for having babies
The data behind the US "record low" births headlines are more nuanced than they appear
