What is Click-to-Evidence? The Key to AI Transparency

In the ever-evolving field of AI-driven medical record reviews, it can be challenging to stay current with the diverse terminology and features introduced by AI vendors, as well as their impact on transparency and trust. At DigitalOwl, one of our most commonly discussed features is click-to-evidence—but what exactly is it, and why is it so crucial for AI transparency?

Click-to-evidence enables users to trace data extractions or insights directly back to their original source, providing complete transparency into the origin of the information presented by AI. This is a huge step in ensuring AI is not a “black box,” where users cannot see how conclusions were reached or where data originated from. Instead, professionals can verify every insight and data extraction by viewing the specific part of the original document that the AI analyzed. This level of transparency helps build trust, ensuring that AI systems like DigitalOwl’s Case Notes are both reliable and accountable for the data they surface.

How Does Click-to-Evidence Work?

With click-to-evidence, users can click on any insight provided by the AI to immediately view the exact piece of the original document from which that information was derived. This ensures that every insight is fully verifiable and backed by the original data, enhancing confidence in the decision-making process.

Why Is Click-to-Evidence Important for Transparency?

Click-to-evidence is crucial in maintaining AI transparency—one of the most critical factors when adopting AI in industries like insurance and legal. Transparency in AI allows professionals to:

• Verify data accuracy: Users can cross-check insights to ensure they align with the source material.
• Ensure compliance: In highly regulated industries, click-to-evidence ensures compliance with auditing and regulatory standards.
• Build trust: Professionals can trust that the AI isn't fabricating information or making unsupported conclusions.

By integrating this feature, DigitalOwl ensures that all of our products enhance human expertise while maintaining compliance, accuracy, and reliability. This level of traceability gives users the confidence to make informed, fast decisions, knowing they can always refer back to the original data.

Does Click-to-Evidence Create More Work for Reviewers?

When people first start using AI, it’s natural to feel unsure and think they need to use the click-to-evidence feature to verify every piece of information. This might seem time-consuming. In fact, this exact concern came up during a recent webinar. However, the reality is that click-to-evidence actually saves time by giving insurance and legal professionals the ability to quickly validate AI-generated data extractions and insights. Instead of manually reviewing hundreds of pages, users can trace specific details directly back to their original context with just one click.

This functionality eliminates the need for extensive manual verification, significantly reducing the time spent on data validation and ensuring accuracy without added effort. Moreover, professionals aren't expected to verify every single detail. Click-to-evidence is there for verifying crucial information, and as users build trust in the AI's accuracy, the need to constantly check the data decreases over time. The feature is designed to streamline workflows, helping users focus only on the key elements that matter most to a case.

The Future of AI: Transparency and Trust

As AI becomes more prevalent, features like click-to-evidence are critical for ensuring accountability and reliability. By offering professionals a transparent view of how AI draws conclusions, DigitalOwl is helping lead the future of AI in insurance and legal.
