Q001-H1 — Training Covers Limitations Adequately¶
Statement¶
Standard corporate AI training courses adequately teach employees about AI limitations including reliability, accuracy, and behavioral tendencies, with specific actionable warnings.
Status¶
Partially supported. Training programs exist widely and most include some coverage of AI limitations. However, the depth of coverage is shallow: limitations are typically mentioned as brief warnings (e.g., "AI can hallucinate") rather than explained as fundamental properties requiring specific skills to manage.
Supporting Evidence¶
| Evidence | Summary |
|---|---|
| SRC01-E01 | NAVEX course identifies hallucinations as primary generative AI risk |
| SRC02-E01 | GSA training includes technical track with risk examples |
| SRC03-E01 | Deloitte offers 30+ courses with Trustworthy AI framework |
| SRC04-E01 | UK playbook warns AI is "not guaranteed to be accurate" |
| SRC07-E01 | Microsoft training defines hallucinations and recommends verification |
| SRC08-E01 | EU AI Act mandates AI literacy including risks |
Contradicting Evidence¶
| Evidence | Summary |
|---|---|
| SRC05-E01 | Only 5 of 12 federal agencies acknowledge hallucinations; half struggle with current policies |
| SRC06-E01 | 59% report skills gap despite 82% providing training; training is generic and one-time |
| SRC10-E01 | More than half of workers find AI training inadequate |
Reasoning¶
The evidence shows training exists but does not support "adequately" covering limitations. Training materials mention limitations at a headline level but do not engage with behavioral tendencies, failure mode mechanics, or practical detection skills. The gap between training availability and training effectiveness is well-documented.
Relationship to Other Hypotheses¶
H1 and H2 represent opposite poles. The evidence points toward H3 as the best-supported position: training exists widely but covers limitations superficially. H1 is partially supported only in the narrow sense that limitations are mentioned; it fails on the adequacy criterion.
