The paper models career progression as a continuous function and treats certification gaps as discontinuities that impede labour-market mobility.
Mathematical/conceptual modeling described in the methods (career-progression-as-continuous-function approach); this is a modeling choice reported in the paper rather than an empirical finding.
There is limited long-term impact evidence and few system-level assessments of AI in developing-country agriculture.
Authors' methodological caveat based on the temporal scope and types of studies available in the >60-study review.
Opacity, bias, and errors in AI systems demand auditing, standards, and governance (algorithmic accountability) to ensure trustworthy assessment.

Student data used by AI vendors raises risks around consent, reuse, commercial exploitation, and other data-privacy concerns.
Policy analysis and literature on data governance, privacy law debates; examples from national policy documents in the comparative cases. No original data on breaches or misuse presented.
Inequities in climate-AI systems appear across three development phases—Inputs, Process, and Outputs—creating multiple failure points where Global North advantages propagate into final products.

Higher measured GDP need not imply higher aggregate welfare: the private costs of the arms race can outweigh the market gains from increased output.
Welfare comparisons performed in the model showing parameter regions where private equilibrium raises GDP but reduces aggregate welfare once investment costs are included.
Because private incentives push agents toward tail outcomes, aggregate overinvestment occurs relative to the social optimum (the arms race is inefficient).

Infrastructure constraint argument presented in the paper; no quantified coverage maps or population-level access statistics included.
AI-driven equivalency systems carry risks including algorithmic bias, opaque decisions without explainability, and potential reinforcement of inequities when training data under-represents some regions/institutions.
Risk assessment drawing on established AI ethics literature; no empirical bias audit from the proposed system is provided.
The major disadvantage of an MIS is dependency on reliable electricity and internet, creating systemic vulnerability due to the digital divide.
