Oversight Fails When the Loop Hides the Logic: I trusted an AI model to surface newsworthy events. It sounded right but it wasn't. It's not a model error, it’s a system design failure. Here’s what we’re still getting wrong about human-in-the-loop review.

Why do people hold onto their beliefs even when confronted with clear evidence to the contrary? Why does fact-checking often fail to correct misinformation? And why do disinformation campaigns thrive despite the truth being easily accessible? https://t.co/IuElxArGmz
