Verifying Machines: Fact-Checking AI Output

Module 1 of 4

Claim anatomy

Decompose an AI-generated business document.

Take any AI-written business document and mark it up in four colours: statements of fact, assumptions presented as fact, calculations, and citations. Most documents that feel authoritative turn out to be mostly the second category — reasonable-sounding assumptions wearing the grammar of established fact.

The tell is usually a missing agent or date. "The market is growing rapidly" has no source, no period and no definition of the market. Once you have marked a document up this way a few times you start noticing it while reading, which is the actual skill this course is training.

Takeaway

Mark up facts, assumptions, calculations and citations separately. Most authoritative-sounding text is assumption in the grammar of fact.
