Toward automating GRADE classification: a proof-of-concept evaluation of an artificial intelligence-based tool for semiautomated evidence quality rating in systematic reviews

The results demonstrate the potential use of AI in assessing the quality of evidence. However, in consideration of the emphasis of the GRADE approach on subjectivity and understanding the context of evidence production, full automation of the classification process is not opportune. Nevertheless, the combination of the URSE-automated system with human evaluation or the integration of this tool into other platforms represents interesting directions for the future.

Abstract

The results demonstrate the potential use of AI in assessing the quality of evidence. However, in consideration of the emphasis of the GRADE approach on subjectivity and understanding the context of evidence production, full automation of the classification process is not opportune. Nevertheless, the combination of the URSE-automated system with human evaluation or the integration of this tool into other platforms represents interesting directions for the future.
