Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), specifically technology based on large language models (LLMs), is rapidly emerging as a versatile adjunct in medical research. Applications of LLMs include preparation for research, literature review and citation screening. There is evidence LLMs are capable of performing significant portions of meta-research, such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Other applications could include identification of clinical trial participants, aiding in the collection of informed consent, and extraction of information from unstructured clinical text. Rapid improvement in the reliability and capability of LLMs will only increase potential utility.
