techniques which increase statistical power by leveraging formal models, are particularly relevant when human interaction (or limited datapoints from scaled compute) will be more relevant to run these experiments ("field experiments"). This is because such interaction or resource is limited and statistical power can be amplified by pairing statistical techniques with formal models derived from AI internals or from models of incentivized behavior (of the human and of the AI system). Within statistics, this long been the purvey of econometrics

Other orgs also indicate that experiments and causal models play a productive role ( DARPA XAI https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.05506
