Challenges an overly simple equation between opacity and unjustified knowledge.
Philosophical argument rather than an ArtiProof test.
EIOPA · EN

Applies within its defined regulatory scope. The knowledge-transfer questions proposed by ArtiProof are additional interpretations, not new legal duties.
FSMA · EN
Belgian supervisor’s index of DORA legislation, including ICT contracts, the information register and incident-reporting instruments.
A practical route from the DORA whitepaper to primary instruments relevant to Belgian financial entities.
An index does not settle an entity’s obligations. Check the linked instruments, applicable scope and current supervisory guidance.
European Parliament and Council · 2022 · EN
EU legislation on digital operational resilience for the financial sector, covering ICT risk, incidents, testing and third-party dependencies.
The legal starting point for the DORA whitepaper, including existing duties concerning knowledge, training, recovery and responsibility.

Zhu et al. · 2026 · EN
Distinguishes dependent and autonomous offloading to generative AI.
A useful counterweight to treating all AI assistance as lost capability.
Three-wave self-report study, mostly young Chinese students; perceived capability is not demonstrated skill. Associations do not establish causation.

Argues that AI dependence need not create a novel problem for social epistemology.
An especially valuable challenge to novelty claims around AI and epistemic dependence.
A philosophical counterargument, not an endorsement or empirical validation of ArtiProof.

Algoritmekader / Nederlandse overheid · NL
Dutch public-sector guidance on meaningful human intervention in algorithmic decision-making.
Useful prompts about competence, information and authority to intervene.
Jurisdiction- and context-specific guidance; a human sign-off alone does not demonstrate effective oversight.

A practical distinction between knowing something and being able to apply it.
Useful vocabulary for knowledge-transfer and capability discussions.
Professional framework guidance; do not turn it into an unvalidated team score.
Haridimos Tsoukas · Strategic Management Journal · 1996 · EN
Argues that organisational knowledge is dispersed, situated and continually emerging; no single actor can fully oversee it.
Challenges overly complete knowledge inventories and helps keep proposed knowledge maps bounded and revisable.
A conceptual argument. It does not imply that every dependency map is useless or that a specific mapping method has been tested.
Lee et al. / Microsoft Research · 2025 · EN
A study of reported critical-thinking effort among knowledge workers using GenAI.
Connects AI confidence, verification work and human judgement.
Self-report survey; not proof of causal or long-term skill loss.

Buçinca, Malaya & Gajos · 2021 · EN
An experiment testing interventions that require people to think before accepting AI advice.
Turns human oversight into a question about actual behaviour and interface design.
A 199-participant experiment in a specific task; reduced overreliance came with usability trade-offs and unequal benefits.

Synthesises experiments comparing humans alone, AI alone and combined systems; outcomes vary by task and comparison.
Challenges the assumption that adding human involvement automatically improves AI-supported performance and reinforces the need for appropriate comparators.
The studies cover particular tasks, systems and populations. Aggregate findings are not an effect estimate for ArtiProof or every current AI system.
