People use LLMs to answer subjective, culturally situated questions. Most benchmarks ask whether the answer is correct, but they overlook the framing features (eg, insider positioning) 📄 New #EMNLP'26 paper: "Not What, But How: A Communicative Audit of LLM Response Framing"

I’m in lovely Montréal attending #FAccT2026 this week! 🍁⚜️ I’ll be presenting our paper on how people use evidence and explanations when they make decisions about LLM fact-checks 🔎 Check out the paper here, or say hi during the conference! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Title: Show me the evidence: Evaluating the role of evidence and natural
language explanations in AI-supported fact-checking

Authors: GRETA WARREN, Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
JINGYI SUN, Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
IRINA SHKLOVSKI, University of Copenhagen, Denmark & Linköping University, Sweden
ISABELLE AUGENSTEIN, Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Abstract: Although much research has focused on AI explanations to support decisions in complex information-seeking tasks such as
fact-checking, the role of evidence is surprisingly under-researched. In our study, we systematically varied explanation type,
AI prediction certainty, and correctness of AI system advice for non-expert participants, who evaluated the veracity of claims
and AI system predictions. Participants were provided the option of easily inspecting the underlying evidence. We found
that participants consistently relied on evidence to validate AI claims across all experimental conditions. When participants
were presented with natural language explanations, evidence was used less frequently although they relied on it when these
explanations seemed insufficient or flawed. Qualitative data suggests that participants attempted to infer evidence source
reliability, despite source identities being deliberately omitted. Our results demonstrate that evidence is a key ingredient in
how people evaluate the reliability of information presented by an AI system and, in combination with natural language
explanations, offers valuable support for decision-making. Further research is urgently needed to understand how evidence
ought to be presented and how people engage with it in practice.

ArXiV has a new LLM policy (Screenshots with alt text so you don’t have to click through to the other place and see all the stupid responses)

Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated. 1/

If generative AI tools generate inappropriate language, plagiarized content, biased content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references, or misleading content, and that output is included in scientific works, it is the responsibility of the author(s). 2/

We have recently clarified our penalties for this. If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can't trust anything in the paper. 3/

The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue. 4/

Examples of incontrovertible evidence: hallucinated references, meta-comments from the LLM ("here is a 200 word summary; would you like me to make any changes?"; "the data in this table is illustrative, fill it in with the real numbers from your experiments") end/
