Attribution: Joshua S. Gans, “Self-Regulating Artificial General Intelligence”, NBER Working Paper 24352, 2018-02.
Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.
Check notes: Candidate pack passage, key papers (research/key-papers). The quotation (28 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 (research/key-papers/verification.json). Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and line-break hyphens, so the source’s typography can differ. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-30, item B004) found the attribution at its locator and in the citing text’s reference entry. No human editorial review.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. A document expressly attributes an argument, concept, term, finding or approach to another work, in its own words; the kind of attribution is recorded. The record is the citing document’s claim. It is not evidence that the cited work originated the idea, that the attribution is accurate, or of influence beyond the passage. Citation alone is recorded as a citation.

Date. Date of the citing text as the dataset records it (February 2018).
