The wrong metric can teach AI to do its job worse.

The startup Trajectory proposes improving specialized models using real-world usage signals—for example, when an agent cannot resolve a return and the case ends up in the hands of a person.

The idea sounds logical: detect the failure, prepare new data, and retrain the system. But there is a catch. If you measure success by whether the user stops typing, AI might learn to end conversations quickly rather than solve problems.

AI does not just learn from data; it also learns from the incentives we give it.
