LONDON: Easy access to artificial intelligence (AI) has made medical and health research less scientifically rigorous and has facilitated a "flood" of shoddy journal papers full of superficial analyses based on "cherry-picked" data, a new study reports.
According to the University of Surrey and University of Aberystwyth, leaning on AI leads to the "production of large numbers of formulaic single-factor analyses" when a broader approach would likely better assess the range of possible causes of diseases.
