Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Several studies highlight the risks of underperforming or biased AI models, which can negatively impact human learning and perpetuate systemic biases.

    “Several studies highlight the risks of underperforming or biased AI models, which can negatively impact human learning and perpetuate systemic biases, such as gender, racial, and social class biases [87,88].”

    From Promises and challenges of generative artificial intelligence for human learning (2024) · cites this paper as [87]

  • Two studies have suggested that potential bias and discrimination issues may occur if adopting a model that is accurate but unfair.

    “Apart from issues with adopting inaccurate models, two studies have suggested that potential bias and discrimination issues may occur if adopting a model that is accurate but unfair (Merine & Purkayastha, 2022;Sha et al., 2021).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
