Description

A big issue with AI screening is that AI trends towards consensus

As such, it is unlikely to effectively implement new theoretical screening rules well, and instead default back to consensus framing.

This is problematic for literature reviews/meta-analysis, as the author may be trying to prove a novel point. Even if they are not, AI is likely to be overly confident in its categorization at times.

A possible solution is to allow the screening to categorize studies as "Unsure", in which case a human would perform the final review on a subset of studies.

Combined with stricter prompting (e.g. only categorize as this type of domain if its one of these tasks: [enumerate tasks]. If a task seem relevant but is not explicilty named, catevorize as "unsure").

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating where screening categories and prompts are defined, then determine how an explicit "Unsure" result and stricter task-based prompting would flow through the review process. Done should include a human-review path for unsure studies and tests covering the new categorization.
