Claim: 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).

BLUF: Partially confirmed with corrections. The paper exists: Avery, Abril, and del Riego published "Attributing AI Authorship: Towards a System of Icons for Legal and Ethical Disclosure" in 2024. However, the journal name is wrong — it was published in the Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property (Vol. 22, Iss. 1), not "Journal of Technology, Innovation & Practice." The paper proposes badges delineating AI involvement "from research to writing to editing," but the specific labels "Generated, Edited, Suggested" could not be verified from available abstracts.

Probability: Unlikely (20-45%) | Confidence: Medium

Correction needed: The journal is the Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property, not "Journal of Technology, Innovation & Practice." The specific icon labels may differ from "Generated, Edited, Suggested."
