SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents learners from absorbing AI output as if it were automatically true by forcing a quick evaluation of what could be wrong, how to verify it, and what source to consult.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-step claim check: Identify one questionable part, propose one concrete verification method, and name one appropriate non-AI source.
  • Epistemic vigilance practice: Builds the habit of treating AI answers as claims requiring scrutiny, not authority.
  • Works after any AI-generated explanation: Suitable for study sessions where learners receive explanatory text, then need to evaluate it.

Quick Start

Use ai-claim-checker to run a claim check on the AI explanation by asking the learner for (1) what could be wrong, (2) what they would check, and (3) what source they would consult for independent verification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fact check AI-generated explanations during student study sessions?

To fact check AI-generated explanations, turn the text into testable claims by identifying a potentially wrong statement, proposing a concrete verification method, and naming a domain-appropriate non-AI source to consult. This enforces epistemic vigilance and critical thinking.

What is the best way to evaluate AI output for source accuracy and potential bias?

Evaluating AI output for source accuracy requires extracting explicit claims and asking the learner to name one appropriate independent source to verify them. This source evaluation method treats AI answers as claims requiring scrutiny rather than absolute authority.

Can I use this critical thinking exercise for any subject topic and developmental band?

Yes, this critical thinking exercise applies to any subject topic after a substantive AI response. It supports optional subject-area and developmental-band calibration to ensure the verification method and source are domain-appropriate for the learner.

How do I start a claim check using ai-claim-checker?

To start a claim check, provide an input ai_generated_content string and a topic string. The system then elicits three verification outputs: a potentially wrong claim, a verification method, and a domain-appropriate source for independent fact checking.

Why should I verify AI answers instead of accepting them as factual?

You should verify AI answers to build AI literacy and epistemic vigilance. Treating AI explanations as claims requiring scrutiny prevents absorbing false information by forcing a quick evaluation of what could be wrong and how to check it independently.
