Almost Every Biomedical Paper Now Shows Signs of AI — And the Skill Has Shifted
A new analysis puts LLM-assisted writing in nearly 90% of recent PubMed Central papers. Meanwhile, management scholars argue the valuable skill is no longer prompting AI — it's directing it.

Does AI Really Make You More Productive? The Evidence Just Got Shakier
A PNAS reanalysis shows a headline result on LLM-driven research productivity can be reproduced with random, inverted and pre-ChatGPT placebo treatments — plus AI agents that can't yet reproduce their own field's papers, platform AI policies that drive creators away, and LLM-simulated bank runs.

AI Is Auditing the Scientific Record — and Finding 75-Year-Old Mistakes
AI agents are fact-checking the published canon and turning up decades-old errors in papers and reference tables — while journals debate whether AI should be patching peer review or replacing it. Plus: the next Turing tests, generative AI as a causal tool, and a model predicting we'll 'do more, less well'.

57% of Papers Show AI's Fingerprints — But Can We Really Count Them?
A 7.3-million-article study says most published papers now show signs of LLM influence — and a new PNAS exchange argues the yardstick itself is broken. Plus: when AI teams don't need to coordinate, ML from 14 examples, and 500 years of art in latent space.

One Dataset, Many AI Analysts — and Any Answer You Want
A new PNAS study built autonomous AI analysts and turned them loose on fixed datasets. They reproduced the dispersion of human many-analyst studies — and swapping the analyst's persona shifted the results, even among methodologically sound runs.
