From Telemetry to Contestable Records: Decision-Event Transparency Requirements for AI-Mediated Knowledge Work
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: High-risk AI-mediated decisions often fail not because models are opaque, but because decision events are recorded as telemetry rather than as contestable semantic handovers. This working paper specifies decision-event transparency requirements and an operational “contestable record” framing for AI-mediated knowledge work. This Zenodo record archives the manuscript as a citable public artifact for independent verification. Journal outcome note: the manuscript was submitted to AI & SOCIETY and subsequently rejected; this deposit is not a claim of journal publication or endorsement. The aim is to provide a stable PublicLife anchor that can be audited and referenced independently of venue status. How to cite So, H. B. (2026).
