Mode: Claim · Status: Active · Tags: plural-voice, AI-trust, academic-publishing, attribution
Input¶
- Public trust in AI sits at 46% globally, with 39% in advanced economies versus 57% in emerging ones (attributed to KPMG/University of Melbourne, 48,340 respondents across 47 countries).
- 66% of people use AI despite the majority not trusting it (attributed to Ipsos, 31-country survey).
- 57% of workers hide their AI use at work (attributed to KPMG/University of Melbourne study of over 48,000 workers across 47 countries).
- 22% of students admit to submitting AI-generated content as their own work.
- UK universities reported over 7,000 formal academic misconduct cases involving AI in a single year (2023-2024).
- Every major journal and conference — Nature, Science, ACM, IEEE, NeurIPS, and all five major academic publishers — has issued a formal policy prohibiting AI as an author.
- NeurIPS requires AI disclosure only when AI is part of the methodology.
- Science requires full prompts to be included in the methods section.
- ACM and IEEE require acknowledgment of AI use with varying specificity.
- Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957) is based on Macbeth, The Bad Sleep Well (1960) is based on Hamlet, and Ran (1985) is based on King Lear.
- IBM published an AI Attribution Toolkit in 2025 that captures contribution type, amount, and review process, and describes itself as "a first pass" at a voluntary standard.
- The AIA icon system was proposed by Avery, Abril, and del Riego with graduated visual indicators for AI involvement levels: Generated, Edited, Suggested (published in Journal of Technology, Innovation & Practice, 2024).
- Research presented at CHI 2025 (He et al.) found that AI receives less credit than humans for equivalent work.
- The CRediT taxonomy (NISO Z39.104-2022) covers 14 types of human contribution but has no provision for AI.
