AI-generated reviews contained about one-third as many incorrect claims, and former journal editors preferred them in most of their judgments.

## Today in brief

Gary King and Steven Worthington compared AI and human reviews of 124 papers, finding fewer incorrect claims in the AI reviews. [1] Three former journal editors selected the AI review in 26 of 30 judgments. [1]

## AI peer-review comparison

In a comparison of reviews for 124 papers, AI-generated reviews contained about one-third as many incorrect claims about the papers as human reviews, and included no fabricated citations. [1] Three former journal editors chose the AI review in 26 of 30 judgments. [1]

The study authors said their findings did not address using reviews to help editors decide what to publish. [1]
