There are clear benefits to using AI-based chatbots in scientific writing, it can easily improve the writing esp non-native speakers. At the same time, as editors are already facing ever more paper-mills, how are we going to ringfence quality publishing from AI-generated, apparently sound looking work? How will we deal with hundreds, thousands, millions of fabricated articles generated per day?

His background is in data science and statistics, and he collaborates with clinicians across the UK and Europe to analyze multifaceted datasets searching for predictors of developing chronic pain (for example after surgery) and predicting response to treatment to enable personalized pain medicine. He uses a wide array of methods -sensory phenotyping, patient-reported outcomes, -omics – and machine learning to identify mechanistic subgroups.
