Artificial intelligence

The EU has published guidelines for the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence tools in research, aiming to ensure the adoption of a coherent approach across Europe. “AI is transforming research, making scientific work more efficient and accelerating discovery, [but] researchers must also be mindful of the technology’s limitations, including plagiarism, revealing sensitive information or inherent biases in the models,” said the European Commission, which helped produce the guidelines. They were devised in collaboration with countries and stakeholders involved in the European Research Area, an initiative to raise research standards.
