How AI Draws Conclusions

🔎 How AI Draws Conclusions: Direct, Implied, and Inferred

Intro
AI doesn’t just summarize—it synthesizes. But how it gets from source data to a bold claim matters, especially when you’re defending a slide in front of a regulatory reviewer or a skeptical scientist.

🧠 Three Modes of Reasoning

1. Direct Conclusions
These are explicitly stated in the source.

Example: “Seer’s Proteograph ONE identifies 10x more protein groups than direct LC-MS.”
If the brochure says it, AI can repeat it.

2. Implied Conclusions
These are hinted at but not spelled out.

Example: “PreOmics kits reduce hands-on time.”
AI might conclude: “PreOmics improves lab throughput.” That’s implied, not stated.

3. Inferred Conclusions
These are logical extensions based on multiple data points.

Example: If Seer’s tech enables 1,000+ samples/week and targets large cohorts, AI might infer: “Seer is optimized for population-scale proteomics.”

🧬 Why It Matters in Life Sciences

• Inference is powerful—but risky if not traceable

• Implied claims need careful phrasing to avoid overstatement

• Direct claims are safest—but often less compelling

✅ Best Practices

• Ask AI to label each claim type

• Use CoVe to interrogate inferred and implied logic

• Always link back to source data

Knowing how AI thinks helps you control the narrative—and defend it.
