An AI company's CEO, Sarah Baldeo, lost a paper on the cognitive impact of generative AI when she refused to share data with the editors of the journal that published it. The paper, published in April, claimed to be based on a survey of 1,923 adults who performed AI-assisted tasks. However, experts raised concerns about inconsistencies in the paper's data, study design, and lack of ethics approval.
The journal, Technology, Mind, and Behavior, requested the data as part of its investigation. Baldeo, the founder and CEO of ID Quotient Advisory Group, and the research ethics body declined, stating that the data transfer was not authorized under the participant-consent and Canadian Research Ethics Board framework. The university that previously endorsed Baldeo's research also expressed its support for the paper but later requested its removal.
Baldeo, who describes herself as an AI neuroscientist and Ph.D. candidate, stated that the retraction notice is incompatible with the study's participant-consent framework.
