Constrained AI summarization with contracts

Constrained AI Summarization

Semeion uses AI to generate summaries of narrative clusters, but with strict contractual constraints to prevent hallucination and bias.

AI Summarizer with contract: May summarize evidence, must NOT infer intent, truth, or consensus

The Summarizer Contract

The AI summarizer operates under a strict contract:

  • MAY summarize the evidence presented in signals
  • MUST NOT infer intent, truth claims, or manufactured consensus

Required Outputs

Every summary must include:

  • confidence - How certain the model is about the summary
  • coordination_likelihood - Estimated probability of coordinated behavior
  • counter_evidence - Any signals that contradict the main narrative

Why Constraints Matter

Without constraints, AI summarizers can inadvertently amplify coordinated narratives by presenting them as consensus. The contract ensures that summaries describe what signals claim, not what is "true."
