**2024**

- [4855607-004](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4855607-004) [failure/evidenced] *(failure mode)* -- Deep learning models adapt to changes in data distribution far less readily than human learning does, which limits their reliability once the operating environment diverges from the training data.
  > Furthermore, deep learning models are not as adaptable to changes in data distribution as human learning, which can adapt more quickly to new situations and contexts.

**2025**

- [5095633-010](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5095633-010) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- When a training dataset disproportionately represents one region or demographic group, the resulting model produces skewed and sometimes inappropriate outputs once deployed in unfamiliar settings.
  > For instance, if a dataset disproportionately represents a particular region or demographic group, the model may offer skewed performance, demonstrating suboptimal or inappropriate outputs when deployed in unfamiliar settings.
