The 2025 AI Agent Index: Documenting Technical and Safety Features of Deployed Agentic AI Systems
Agentic AI systems are increasingly capable of performing professional and personal tasks with limited human involvement. However, tracking these developments is difficult because the AI agent ecosystem is complex, rapidly evolving, and inconsistently documented, posing obstacles to both researchers and policymakers. To address these challenges, this paper presents the 2025 AI Agent Index. The Index documents information regarding the origins, design, capabilities, ecosystem, and safety features of 30 state-of-the-art AI agents based on publicly available information and email correspondence with developers. In addition to documenting information about individual agents, the Index illuminates broader trends in the development of agents, their capabilities, and the level of transparency of developers. Notably, we find different transparency levels among agent developers and observe that most developers share little information about safety, evaluations, and societal impacts. The 2025 AI Agent Index is available online at https://aiagentindex.mit.edu

米中AIがほぼ拮抗 若手開発者の雇用20%減、 スタンフォード報告を読む
スタンフォード大学の人間中心AI研究所が発表した2026年版AIインデックスによれば、AIモデルの性能で米中はほぼ拮抗し、22〜25歳の若手開発者の雇用は2022年以降20%近く減少した。AIは全力疾走しているが、評価・規制・雇用市場はいずれも追いつけていない。
