Carnegie Mellon University and Fujitsu developed three benchmarks to evaluate AI agent safety and effectiveness in enterprise environments. FieldWorkArena tests agents in logistics and manufacturing settings for detecting safety violations, while ECHO measures hallucination mitigation in vision language models, and an enterprise RAG benchmark assesses data retrieval accuracy. Testing revealed current multimodal LLMs (Claude Sonnet 3.7, Gemini 2.0 Flash, GPT-4o) achieved low accuracy scores, particularly struggling with precise counting and distance measurement despite strong image recognition capabilities. The benchmarks use real-world data sources and will be publicly available to help businesses assess AI agent readiness for autonomous operations.
