Corrections and clarifications
Material changes are recorded here before the next episode review. Entries dated 16 September 2026 describe version 1.1 prepared for publication. They do not certify a complete audio audit.
Encoded media
AC-2026-001 · 16 SEPTEMBER 2026 · Author clarification
The literal machine wording could imply that all digital files are AI-generated. Joel clarified that he meant these media can be generated by AI. The article now separates encoding, capability and authorship.
Introduction · C11 · Version 1.0 → 1.1
Generative AI
AC-2026-002 · 16 SEPTEMBER 2026 · Author clarification
The machine transcript says general AI is not present and then says we are still on general AI. Joel confirmed that the intended current-focus term was generative AI. Slide 4 supports this reading. The source text is retained.
Introduction · C12 · Version 1.0 → 1.1
Capability and autonomy
ED-2026-001 · 16 SEPTEMBER 2026 · Assessment revision
Linked the conceptual assessment to C12 and the author’s clarification, while retaining the distinction between generality and autonomy.
Introduction · C06 · Version 1.0 → 1.1
Product disclosure
ED-2026-002 · 16 SEPTEMBER 2026 · Disclosure
Added Joel’s AISOD leadership interest to the MyResearcher mention, supported by AISOD’s product list. Product effectiveness is not established by that listing.
Introduction · Version 1.0 → 1.1
Presentation coverage
ED-2026-003 · 16 SEPTEMBER 2026 · Source integration
Integrated slide-specific teaching examples and limitations into the companion and working paper. Unverified numerical and local deployment claims remain outside the findings.
Introduction · Version 1.0 → 1.1
Archive structure
ED-2026-004 · 16 SEPTEMBER 2026 · Publication structure
Moved the Introduction from the root to /ai-focus/introduction/. The root now indexes individual source-video records. Added this corrections page.
Introduction · Version 1.0 → 1.1
Original transcript corrections
The 15 September 2026 name corrections are retained in their separate transcription log. Later author intent clarifications appear in the author clarification log. Neither log silently overwrites the raw transcript.
Education review · 16 September 2026
These entries record the first companion’s treatment of the source, not edits to the broadcast.
National learner-teacher ratio
The companion replaces the national 1:38 framing with a dated official figure and distinguishes staffing ratios from class size.
Examination failure rate
The approximate 40-percent claim is not repeated as a verified statistic without an examination year, threshold and denominator.
Khanmigo access
Supporting slides conflate free learning resources with paid and geographically restricted parent/learner tutoring access.
Photomath Internet requirement
Current help requires Internet. The date of the change remains unresolved, so no historical offline verdict is asserted.
Planned quiz demonstration
A production prompt is retained as a proposed activity; unmeasured timing and cost comparisons are not adopted as findings.
24 October 2026 · Two NBC features added
NBC-AIF-015 and NBC-AIF-016 add source-linked features on Johannes Masambo, Gotlieb Mupandela and AISODX Hire. Author background is attributed; comparative age, income and poverty-impact claims are not presented as established results. Earlier records and evidence IDs remain unchanged.
24 October 2026 · School chronology and human-centred AI
NBC-AIF-015 v1.1 adds Joel’s account of Gotlieb joining AISOD in 2023. A visually inspected school letter is dated 17 January 2024 and stamped 18 January 2024; it reports Regional Office permission and a conditional planned start. It does not establish Gotlieb’s enrolment date. NBC-AIF-017 adds Shavonne Ruch’s interview and the publicly listed Connect & Thrive relationship.
24 October 2026 · Founder manifesto and Coastal AI Summit
Added the AISOD 3A manifesto and summit account. Founder clarifications record harness availability, internal-only AISOD Chat with a December 2026 public release plan, and a corpus exceeding five million words with official release planned for January 2027. Older GitHub rollout wording is identified as outdated according to the founder. The repeat summit session is attributed to his account.
Author review revision · 16 September 2026
Previous entries remain unchanged. These additions supersede the specific statements identified below.
Author audio verification
Joel Tiago reports that he compared the raw transcript with the live audio for this episode, confirmed in the project conversation on 16 September 2026. This is author audio verification, not independent review. The original machine output and logged editorial corrections are retained separately.
REV-2026-001 · NBC-AIF-002, NBC-AIF-003
Ministry primary-source locator
Page 1, Table 1 (national total) and accompanying narrative: 896,311 learners, 33,322 teachers and national learner-teacher ratio 26.9 in February 2024; regional range 23.9 (Zambezi) to 31.7 (Kavango East). Page and narrative supplied by the author and corroborated against indexed official text. Automated PDF retrieval failed certificate validation; no local full-PDF copy is claimed.
REV-2026-002 · NBC-AIF-003
YYeni deployment correction
YYeni’s own account identifies school pilots at A. Shipena, Windhoek High and Jan Mohr in 2024, and at Lüderitz Secondary and Angra Pequena Senior Secondary School in 2025. NBC’s Good Morning Namibia interview description, published 16 September 2026, reports AI tutoring labs being established at Angra Pequena and schedules their official launch and handover for 21 September 2026. The earlier “deployment not established” assessment is withdrawn. Prior school pilots and the later lab launch are different milestones; this review does not independently validate the provider’s learning-outcome claims.
REV-2026-003 · NBC-AIF-003
AISOD Researcher domain
The author confirms that AISOD Researcher is the product referred to as MyResearcher and that its correct domain is https://myresearcha.com. The myresearcher.com address in the draft slides is corrected here; the original slides remain unchanged.
REV-2026-004 · NBC-AIF-002, NBC-AIF-003
One permanent identifier per source
NBC-AIF identifiers remain the permanent citation scheme. NBC-AIF-002 is Introduction (production label Episode 1); NBC-AIF-003 is Education (production label Episode 2). The earlier AISOD interview is NBC-AIF-001 and is not numbered as a series episode. Original source titles and filenames remain preserved.
REV-2026-005 · NBC-AIF-001, NBC-AIF-002, NBC-AIF-003
17 September 2026 · Publication update
Both working papers are v0.4. The disclosure now records the author’s use of Codex and Claude. Education section 5.1 presents the author’s transparent-AI-assessment proposal. Shared page layout and mobile wrapping were revised. Evidence IDs and source transcripts are unchanged.
