arXiv:2605.26001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating generative AI (GenAI) systems is challenging because many targets of evaluation are broad, contested concepts, such as "reasoning," "fairness," or "creativity." When these concepts are left underspecified, it becomes unclear what should be measured or how evaluation results should be interpreted. This problem reflects a missing step: systematization, that is, moving from a broad background concept to an explicit, structured account of the concept in measurable terms. To help address the fact that systematization is cognitively demandin
The rapid advancement and deployment of generative AI systems necessitate more robust and standardized evaluation methods to ensure their responsible and effective development.
A lack of clear evaluation standards for GenAI systems hinders their reliable development, deployment, and public trust, making it difficult to assess progress or identify risks.
The proposal of AI-assisted systematization offers a more structured approach to defining and measuring complex GenAI attributes, potentially leading to more objective and comparable evaluations.

Improved GenAI evaluation frameworks become more widespread and standardized across the industry and academia.
Greater clarity in AI capabilities and limitations could accelerate responsible AI adoption and reduce unforeseen negative consequences.
Standardized evaluation could enable clearer regulatory guidelines and foster international cooperation on AI governance and safety benchmarks.
