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?

  • In cases where low-skill tasks continue to be fulfilled by humans in service of automated processes, human work continues not because it is difficult to automate but because humans are better at it, or cheaper to employ, than machines.

    “In cases such as these, human work continues to be performed by humans, not because it is difficult to automate, but because humans are better at it, or cheaper to employ, than machines.”
  • AI has the potential to generate business value in performance, productivity and effectiveness, but it is not autonomous; it works in concert with human capabilities.

    “While AI has the potential to generate business value in terms of performance, productivity and effectiveness, it is not autonomous, as it works in concert with human capabilities (Zhang 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.
