The article examines how scientific literature, often used as a data source for AI in materials science, can contain hidden inaccuracies such as text-figure mismatches, ambiguous axis labels, unit inconsistencies, and missing measurement context. By tracing solid electrolyte conductivity values from original papers to curated datasets, the authors uncover recurrent errors that are numerically plausible yet hard to detect, leading to significant label noise in AI models. A cross-database example demonstrates that ambiguous reporting can cause a 100‑fold error in conductivity values, underscoring the need for traceable reporting, rigorous curation, and validation practices in AI-driven discovery.
