"Earlier this year I received comments on an academic manuscript of mine as
part of the usual peer review process, and noticed something strange.

My research focuses on ensuring trustworthy evidence is used to inform policy,
practice and decision making. I often collaborate with groups like the World
Health Organization to conduct systematic reviews to inform clinical and public
health guidelines or policy. The paper I had submitted for peer review was
about systematic review conduct.

What I noticed raised my concerns about the growing role artificial
intelligence (AI) is playing in the scientific process."
