Abstract

The article discusses the implications of using Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly large-language models (LLMs), in the scientific manuscript review process. It highlights the potential benefits of AI, such as faster and more consistent reviews, but raises significant ethical concerns, including the risk of confidentiality breaches and the accountability of AI-generated evaluations. The article compares the current enthusiasm for LLMs in peer review to the initial excitement surrounding microwave ovens, suggesting that while LLMs may assist in the process, they cannot replace the nuanced judgment of human reviewers. It emphasizes the need for transparency in the use of AI tools to maintain the integrity of the peer review process. [Extracted from the article]
