Artificial intelligence was supposed to accelerate discovery, but a growing number of researchers say it is flooding science with junk. Instead of careful experiments and hard-won insights, they ...

High school students gain PhD-led mentorship, publish original research, and build real-world AI models through ...

Large language models (LLMs) can suggest hypotheses, write code and draft papers, and AI agents are automating parts of the research process. Although this can accelerate science, it also makes it ...

Computer science has long operated on a foundation of trust: researchers publish findings, peers verify them, and the field ...

Keeping up with the latest research is vital for scientists, but given that millions of scientific papers are published every ...

Some companies are working to remedy the issue. Some AI chatbots rely on flawed research from retracted scientific papers to answer questions, according to recent studies. The findings, confirmed by ...

An international team of researchers has released an artificial intelligence system capable of autonomously conducting scientific research across multiple disciplines — generating papers from initial ...

What if the next breakthrough in your field wasn’t the result of months of painstaking research, but the product of a few clicks? Imagine delegating tedious tasks like literature reviews or data ...

There’s sloppy science, and there’s AI slop science. In an ironic twist of fate, beleaguered AI researchers are warning that the field is being choked by a deluge of shoddy academic papers written ...

A research team at the University of Washington and The Allen Institute for AI built OpenScholar, an open-source AI model designed specifically to synthesize current scientific research. In tests, ...
