R0029/2026-03-27/Q001/H2

Research R0029 — Plural Voice Attribution
Run 2026-03-27
Query Q001
Hypothesis H2

Statement

No structured attribution frameworks exist; the field has only binary disclosure requirements (used AI / did not use AI).

Status

Current: Eliminated

Multiple structured proposals clearly go beyond binary disclosure. The IBM AI Attribution Toolkit captures contribution type, amount, and review process. The AIA icon system proposes graduated visual indicators. The CHI 2025 research demonstrates that attribution requires granularity across multiple dimensions.

Supporting Evidence

No evidence supports this hypothesis. Every source examined shows work beyond binary disclosure.

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC01-E01 Research demonstrates attribution requires granularity beyond binary disclosure policies
SRC02-E01 Working toolkit with structured multi-dimensional attribution
SRC03-E01 Graduated icon system for AI authorship disclosure

Reasoning

The evidence comprehensively eliminates this hypothesis. While many publishers still use binary disclosure (see Q003), the research community has clearly moved beyond this to propose structured, multi-dimensional attribution frameworks.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

H2 represents the null hypothesis — that no structured work exists. The evidence clearly refutes this, supporting both H1 (partially) and H3 (fully).
