The AI-usage figures in this article's disclosure box were too high. They had been measured with a tool that counted some answers of the AI model more than once, because the session log writes one answer on several lines. The figures were re-counted from the same session log for the same point in time. Before: 4,467 model calls (each a request to the model and its answer), about 1,396.3 million tokens processed and 1.7 million generated (tokens are the small units of text the model reads and writes). Now: 2,204 model calls, about 688.9 million tokens processed and 671 thousand generated.
Effect on conclusions: None. The text, figures, sources and conclusions of the report are unchanged; only the AI-usage figures were corrected.

The AI-contribution note stated that the publisher's editorial review was pending.

The links to the report's videos and the recorded publication time were added in the same release.
Effect on conclusions: None. The text, figures, sources and conclusions are unchanged.
