CKO-014AI Literacy & Tool AdoptionStrong evidence

What evidence should support adoption of an AI tool?

Adoption should be supported by validation studies, independent evaluations, benchmarking results and evidence from similar review contexts.

In more detail

Researchers should seek evidence demonstrating that a tool performs reliably for the intended task. Strong evidence includes independent validation studies, external evaluations, benchmarking against established methods and performance data from real-world evidence synthesis projects. Vendor claims alone are insufficient.

Why it matters

Trustworthy adoption requires evidence rather than marketing.

Require evidence before implementation.
