Caution with AI-generated content in biomedicine

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) describes algorithms that can create new content, including text, audio and images, on the basis of patterns learned from large amounts of training data. Large language models that can generate conversational text, such as chatGPT, are not new, but they have recently progressed from proof-of-concept trials to industrial-strength products with applications for consumers. Generative AI systems have many applications in biomedical research and health, including formulating disease hypotheses, discovering novel drug targets, and generating novel small molecules and antibodies.
