Thinking Through Signs: PEEL as a Semiotic Scaffolding for Epistemically Accountable AI-Enabled Research

Researchers have developed PEEL (Protocols for Epistemically Engaged Literacy in AI), a framework combining deterministic distant reading tools with LLM interpretation to measure and expose systematic distortions in AI-generated text summaries. The framework reveals that large language models introduce undetectable errors in quantity, term frequency, and epistemic voice, challenging the assumption that AI fluency equals fidelity and raising critical questions about researcher accountability in AI-assisted scholarship.

Vibe-Creation: The Epistemology of Human-AI Emergent Cognition

Researchers propose a new theoretical framework called the 'Third Entity' to describe the emergent cognitive formation that arises from human-AI interactions, introducing the concept of 'vibe-creation' as a pre-reflective cognitive mode. The paper argues this represents the automation of tacit knowledge with significant implications for epistemology, education, and how we understand human-AI collaboration.

The Epistemological Consequences of Large Language Models: Rethinking collective intelligence and institutional knowledge

Research examines epistemological risks of widespread LLM adoption, arguing that while AI can reliably transmit information, it lacks reflective justification capabilities. The study warns that over-reliance on LLMs could weaken human critical thinking and proposes a three-tier framework to maintain epistemic standards.

Plurification in/of language technology -- The integration of culture in next-generation AI

A research paper examines how cultural considerations can be operationalized in Natural Language Processing systems, arguing that true cultural alignment requires plural epistemologies rather than simply adding more diverse data examples. The study uses a five-layer socio-technical model to analyze NLP approaches and concludes that most current efforts address culture only at surface levels while leaving unresolved questions about power, governance, and social context.

On the evolution of the concept of probability as a mirror of the evolution of reason

This academic article examines the historical evolution of probability theory as a reflection of changing human rationality, tracing its development from games of chance to modern Bayesian inference. It argues that contemporary scientific reasoning requires integrating probability with fuzzy logic and deep learning to address uncertainty, vagueness, and inference beyond what probability alone can formalize.

An Abstract Worlds Semantic Framework for Belief Change Operators

Researchers propose Abstract Worlds Semantics (AWS), a set-theoretic framework for modeling belief change operators without assuming logical syntax. The framework unifies classical and non-prioritized belief change constructions, providing a homogeneous account of AGM, KM, and Multiple Change models in propositional logic.

Aesthetic Perspectives in Information Systems Research: A Hermeneutic Analysis

This academic paper examines how aesthetic philosophy implicitly shapes Information Systems research, identifying four foundational aesthetic perspectives (imitation, sensory experience, world-making, and political doing) that influence what scholars consider worthy of study. The analysis reveals that aesthetic assumptions form epistemic infrastructure that determines research visibility and legitimacy, with implications for how sociotechnical phenomena like algorithmic management are theorized.
