  "summary": "Having access to an explanation is not the same as being able to reconstruct it. That distinction deserves checking before a task is delegated to AI.",

    {
      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Leonid Rozenblit and Frank Keil (2002, Cognitive Science) show that people overestimate their understanding of mechanisms, particularly when subsequently asked to produce a detailed explanation."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Access to explanations can distort self-assessment",
      "point": "Matthew Fisher, Mariel Goddu and Frank Keil (2015, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General) show in their experiments that searching for explanations online can increase estimates of one's own knowledge, including on other topics."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that a tool must be fully understood before it can be used; these studies do not demonstrate that."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What these data do not establish",
      "point": "These studies concern neither current generative assistants nor delegation within Lausanne-based teams."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Lausanne",
      "point": "As part of SHR's programme “Conduire l’adoption de l’IA dans son équipe”, a Lausanne-based team can test a non-sensitive task: preparing a background note in medtech, teaching material at a higher education institution, a logistics summary in international sport or a customer response at a scale-up in the Lake Geneva region."
