Argues researchers should begin with the method and then decide what place, authority and evidential status AI may hold within it — drawn from building an auditable research tool.

Interview study of five newly qualified Victorian VET trainers using generative AI to prepare and check training and assessment materials. Finds that GenAI outputs were treated as plausible but not usable until checked against vocational knowledge and unit requirements — reframing GenAI integration in VET as a compliance-verification problem rather than a capability one.
