Can Vision-Language Models Analyze Human-Centered Video? Mapping Model Capabilities and Human-AI Collaborative Workflows

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 23, 2026 · UTC

Video provides a rich record of human behavior, interaction, and situated contexts, offering important evidence for understanding people and conducting human-centered research. As vision-language models (VLMs) become increasingly capable of analyzing video, they offer opportunities to automate this traditionally human-intensive process. Yet a central question remains: when can VLMs analyze human-centered video independently, and when does reliable analysis still require human involvement? To address this question, we first characterize video analysis practices in human-centered research. We sy
