As new tools flourish, AI ‘fingerprints’ on scientific papers could damage trust in vital research
Are some researchers using too much artificial intelligence (AI) in their scientific papers? Experts say that “fingerprints” of generative AI (GenAI) can be found in an increasing number of studies. A recent preprint paper, which hasn’t been peer-reviewed yet, estimated that at least 60,000 papers were probably “polished” using AI in some way by analysing the writing style. “It's not to say that we knew how much LLM [large language model] work was involved in them, but certainly, these are immensely high shifts overnight,” Andrew Gray, a librarian at University College London, told Euronews Ne...
