Artificial intelligence for the science of evidence synthesis: how good are AI-powered tools for automatic literature screening?

The AI tools assessed in this study demonstrated commendable performance in literature screening; however, they are not yet suitable as standalone solutions. These tools can serve as effective auxiliary aids, and a hybrid approach that integrates human expertise with AI may enhance both the efficiency and accuracy of the literature screening process.

Abstract

The AI tools assessed in this study demonstrated commendable performance in literature screening; however, they are not yet suitable as standalone solutions. These tools can serve as effective auxiliary aids, and a hybrid approach that integrates human expertise with AI may enhance both the efficiency and accuracy of the literature screening process.
