Why use AI to enhance research workflow?

Artificial intelligence (AI) does not replace the researcher but can supercharge your productivity. Consider 3 data automations in the research workflow:

1. Reduce repetitive work. Why manually enter, extract, or check (and double check) the same task over and over? Automate with AI to free you up to enjoy being human!
2. Detect changes & duplication + DE-duplication. Why not produce timely and precise output? Come to think there was a time when we used the “lookup” function that took a long time to look up or even the occasional “eyeballing” method… 👀
3. Be aware of AI “hallucination”! It refers to when the model generates unfounded information. When using Artificial Intelligence to conduct literature review, carefully vet the sources that they are factual and align with your input.
