Claim as Clarified

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 and Practice, 2024).

BLUF

The paper exists (Avery, Abril, del Riego, 2024) and proposes an AIA badge system. However: (1) the journal is the Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property, not 'Journal of Technology, Innovation and Practice'; (2) the badges delineate involvement 'from research to writing to editing' but the specific labels 'Generated, Edited, Suggested' could not be confirmed from abstracts. The journal name is clearly wrong.

Scope

  • Domain: AI attribution, film studies, academic standards
  • Timeframe: Various
  • Testability: Verifiable against primary sources

Probability: Unlikely (20-45%)
