• Procedure-Work Mismatch
  • This last is structurally identical to the tacit-knowledge-in-production pattern in economics and the Polanyi paradox in automation: the gap between prescribed and enacted work is exactly the surface across which substituting machinery for skilled humans goes wrong.

    This sourceFrames the tacit-knowledge gap between codified and enacted work as the surface across which automation substituting for skilled humans goes wrong.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Autor's abstract supplies the Polanyi-paradox frame — substitution for skilled workers stalls where the rules are applied tacitly rather than stated — but not the claim's 'exactly the surface' identification.

    “The challenges to substituting machines for workers in tasks requiring adaptability, common sense, and creativity remain immense. Contemporary computer science seeks to overcome Polanyi's paradox by building machines that learn from human examples, thus inferring the rules that we tacitly apply but do not explicitly understand.”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
