Generative AI is reshaping the cultural infrastructures through which knowledge is found, synthesized, and held accountable. To make sense of this shift, scholars and policymakers reach for historical analogies of technologies such as the printing press, steam power or electricit

Evaluating claim admission in shared agent memory is challenging because repeated claims may be mistaken for independent evidence. An agent may copy or paraphrase a retrieved belief, while admitting a false claim exposes subsequent agents to it. To study this problem, we introduc
