AI-generated research is flooding scientific journals. Are we prioritizing speed over quality?

George Hripcsak says the issue isn't how quickly we're publishing, it's whether we're doing science with the structure & transparency needed for trustworthy results.

"Success is far more likely when leaders identify one discrete use case where an #AI agent can deliver measurable results,” says Yu. “This 'wedge' creates momentum, builds internal trust, and uncovers practical lessons." bit.ly/3Jq2dEm

#AI implementation doesn't need to transform your entire organization overnight. Just ask computer scientist and Arklex.AI founder Zhou Yu, who shares in #TheLever why starting with just one specific problem creates the momentum needed for successful AI adoption. bit.ly/3Jq2dEm
