Griffiths's conjecture on incidentally trivial cycles

Let XX be a nice variety over an algebraically closed field KK of dimension dd, and let Ip(X)I^p(X) denote the subgroup of incidentally trivial codimension-pp cycles inside CHalgp(X)\operatorname{CH}^p_{\mathrm{alg}}(X). Let AJp\mathrm{AJ}^p be the Abel--Jacobi map.

Griffiths's conjecture on incidentally trivial cycles. For every p{1,,d}p\in\{1,\ldots,d\} and every zIp(X)z\in I^p(X), there is a positive integer NN such that

Nzker(AJp).Nz\in\ker(\mathrm{AJ}^p).

Equivalently, incidentally trivial cycles are Abel--Jacobi trivial up to torsion; the source says this is equivalent to the assertion that the associated surjection hph^p is an isogeny. The supplied text gives no resolution of the conjecture.
