Diagnosticity Analysis¶
Most Diagnostic Evidence¶
| Evidence ID | Why Diagnostic |
|---|---|
| SRC01-E01 | EU AI Act is the strongest evidence because it explicitly names "automation bias" (supporting that requirements exist, contra H2) but places the obligation on deployers for awareness (indirect, supporting H3 over H1) |
| SRC05-E01 | AIR 2024 finding that overreliance is underspecified in corporate policies discriminates between H1 (would predict detailed specifications) and H3 (predicts general rather than specific requirements) |
Least Diagnostic Evidence¶
| Evidence ID | Why Non-Diagnostic |
|---|---|
| SRC04-E01 | NIST is voluntary guidance; its existence supports H3 weakly but cannot discriminate between H1 and H3 since it is not a binding requirement |
Outcome¶
Hypothesis supported: H3 — Requirements exist but address the phenomenon indirectly through human oversight and general trustworthiness criteria.
Hypotheses eliminated: H1 (no direct requirements found) and H2 (indirect requirements clearly exist).
Hypotheses inconclusive: None.
