Addressing Construct Validity in AI Review
A significant challenge identified is the construct validity of human evaluations for AI-generated content. Judges might unconsciously prefer comments with more polished grammar and structure over those with deeper semantic insight, a bias that could inflate AI performance scores. This highlights a critical risk: unchecked integration of generative AI might lead to decisions based on superficial fluency rather than actual content merit. Future work must implement AI-based 'polishing' of human comments to ensure uniform surface-level quality and eliminate this confounding factor, allowing for a purer focus on semantic quality.
