Unlocking the Future of Evidence Synthesis in AI
Over recent years, Sadiq Jaffer and I, alongside Conservation Evidence, have conducted extensive analyses of academic literature, navigating the challenges of gaining access to millions of full-text papers. Our latest comment in Nature explores the pressing topic of AI’s impact on evidence synthesis, revealing vital insights into the intricacies of this evolving landscape.
Key Highlights:
- Literature Review Challenges: Traditional methods are expensive and slow, struggling to keep pace with an overwhelming number of legitimate research papers.
- AI Threats: The rise of LLMs is leading to fabricated papers, complicating the distinction between genuine and spurious research.
- Innovative Solutions: We propose a federated network approach by establishing “living evidence databases” for regional needs, especially beneficial for governments in the Global South.
