| Ref | Title | Journal / Venue | Focus | Status | Document |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 29 | Human Responsibility Under Artificial Intelligence Mediation: Evaluative Capacity and the Conditions of Independent Judgment | In Development | Examines the responsibility-capacity tension that arises when institutions assign humans responsibility for consequential AI-mediated decisions while also shaping the informational conditions under which that responsibility must be exercised. Develops the normative argument from evaluative dependency to differentiated and proportional responsibility, asking when control, foreseeability, institutional role, and assigned responsibility create reasons to preserve sufficient evaluative capacity for independent judgment. | In Development | Read Pre-print |
| 28 | Evaluability in Artificial Intelligence-Mediated Information: Preserving the Capacity for Independent Assessment | Discover Artificial Intelligence – Springer Nature | Develops evaluability as the practical capacity of an independent actor to reconstruct and assess the informational foundations of a claim or decision. Distinguishes evaluability from transparency, explainability, provenance, auditability, accountability, contestability, and human oversight, then examines how successive AI-mediated transformations can weaken, preserve, or strengthen independent assessment. | Submitted | Read Pre-print | 26 | Linguistic Evaluability: Preserving Independent Judgment in Artificial Intelligence-Mediated Communication | Artificial Intelligence Review – Springer Nature | Introduces linguistic evaluability as a philosophical dimension of communication concerned with whether language preserves sufficient structure for independent reconstruction and evaluation. Uses E-Prime as a philosophical probe to reveal recurring evaluative functions including agency and attribution, evidence, criteria, context, and qualification, then develops a broader framework for preserving independent judgment in AI-mediated communication. | Submitted | Read Pre-print |
| 25 | Rethinking Transparency in Artificial Intelligence: From Definitions to Functions | Discover Artificial Intelligence – Springer Nature | Reconstructs the historical convergence of multiple transparency traditions inherited by AI governance, arguing that transparency should be understood according to its informational function rather than as a single universal definition. Introduces a comparative taxonomy of transparency traditions and the concept of transparency profiles. | Submitted | Read Pre-print |
| 24 | Verification as an Epistemic Practice: Toward a Philosophical Account of Independent Knowledge Evaluation | Episteme – Cambridge University Press | Develops a philosophical account of verification as an independent epistemic practice necessary for evaluating knowledge, preserving intellectual autonomy, and supporting reliable judgment in AI-mediated environments. | Under review | Read Pre-print |
| 23 | Evaluability as a Precondition for Ethical Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence | Discover Artificial Intelligence | Argues that evaluability is a necessary precondition for ethical reasoning in AI-mediated environments by preserving the ability to reconstruct responsibility, assess decisions, and maintain accountability over time. | Rejected with Peer Review Feedback | Read Pre-print |
| 22 | Distributed Witnessing as an Emerging Informational Condition: A Continuity Architecture for AI-Mediated Societies | Discover Artificial Intelligence | Distributed witnessing, continuity architecture, society, and AI-mediated informational conditions. | Under review | Read Pre-print |
| 21 | Evaluability in AI-Mediated Systems When Verification Costs More Than Persuasion | Discover Artificial Intelligence | Evaluability, verification costs, persuasion, and AI-mediated knowledge systems. | Rejected with Peer Review Feedback | Read Pre-print |
| 20 | Historical Intelligibility Under Computational Mediation | History and Theory | Historical intelligibility, synthetic mediation, reconstruction, and interpretive continuity. | Under review | Read Pre-print |
| 16 | Loss of External Evaluability | AI & Society | External evaluability, system opacity, and conditions of independent assessment. | Editorial Return - Absorbed into future submission | Read HTML |
| 15 | Systemic Risk and the Breakdown of Evaluation in AI-Mediated Knowledge Systems | New Media & Society | Systemic risk, evaluation breakdown, knowledge systems, and public understanding. | Developmental Submission - Summary Archived | Read HTML |

About the Research
Across this portfolio, recurring questions include how attribution can survive at AI scale, what makes knowledge systems externally evaluable, how synthetic mediation affects historical intelligibility, and what forms of witnessing, provenance, verification, and preservation are needed when memory itself becomes computationally mediated.
The future needs a memory.
