The paper converts AI concentration into a contagion model. It maps vendors, banks, interbank exposures, and customer accounts into a four-layer network, then simulates how one vendor compromise becomes operational disruption, bad inform...

This is a statistical study of how success, momentum, and career timing behave among GitHub package contributors. It finds lottery-like timing for major hits, a modest persistent contributor effect, strong momentum, and no detectable pos...

The paper maps three mutations in the status of machine-mediated expression: speech becomes searchable data, then measurable engagement, then generated conversational output. Its real project is legal domestication. It converts a structu...

The paper turns satellite imagery and foundation-model embeddings into proxies for socioeconomic and urban-livability indicators. Its real function is an inference pipeline: estimate human conditions where direct observation is weak, the...

The text identifies a real mechanism: AI can produce locally sufficient writing before the writer has performed the unresolved conceptual work that would have altered the problem itself. It distinguishes coordination—finishing an already...

This paper performs a local autopsy of consensus signaling. It separates the number of votes from the amount of independent reasoning behind them. Later voters arrive after evidence saturation, defer to existing rationales, and inflate t...

This paper demonstrates that a visual patch can become an executable control channel. The attack traverses the full chain: screenshot, VLM interpretation, action parsing, and environmental execution. Its most consequential finding is not...

This is not a study of AI performing ED quality review. It is a study of whether AI can pre-sort a larger pile of revisit cases for human attention. The hidden operational problem is labor scarcity: narrow revisit windows exist because r...

The abstract is not rebuilding consent; it is optimizing the readability of a pre-existing consent interface. It uses AI to map cookie-banner text from 200 websites into standardized purposes, then lowers the stated comprehension level f...

The paper relocates the regulatory target from the trained model and training run to the inference call. It builds a twenty-mechanism taxonomy across monitoring, verification, and enforcement, then tests those mechanisms against deployer...

This is a pedagogical analogy paper. It maps Thermomix use onto generative-AI use, then evaluates whether different modes preserve active engagement through ICAP and SAMR. Its practical move is to turn AI in education into a question of ...

This paper is not really about watermarking. It is an audit of the black box surrounding watermarking: vendor claims, inaccessible deployed systems, weak independent testing, and regulation that demands detectability without guaranteeing...

This paper is designing a labor-thinning control system for AI-mediated care. It moves clinicians from authoring each interaction into three narrower functions: preventive constraints, machine-triggered monitoring, and periodic evaluatio...

This paper is an upgraded sensor for a diseased tournament system. It replaces crude “important/unimportant” labels with simulated qualification probabilities for win, draw, and loss, then applies them to UEFA’s competing tournament form...

This paper documents the first breach in analysts’ information-production moat. GenAI increases sources, topical coverage, analytical methods, and timeliness—but also produces more information than human analysts can reliably process. Th...

This paper builds a high-resolution dashboard of the UK economic machine: monthly inter-industry payment flows, millions of organizations, hundreds of millions of transactions, and multi-trillion-pound aggregate values. Its real function...

The paper presents railroads as engines of modernization: connectivity increased population by 7 percent, drew in migrants, accelerated structural change, and apparently helped spread folk high schools and community houses. Its strongest...

This is a credible hospital-operations paper being asked to carry a much larger ideological load. It finds that surgical hubs improve measured throughput: 14.5% higher physician productivity and a 10-day reduction in waiting times, with ...

The paper maps demographic decline onto a geography of economic amputation. Population loss does not merely reduce output; it causes smaller cities to fall below industry-specific viability thresholds, destroying local job diversity. Tho...
