AI-Generated Papers Flood Scientific Literature: A Crisis in Research?

A new study reveals that AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are being used to mass-produce low-quality, redundant scientific papers. Researchers identified over 400 such papers across 112 journals, leveraging publicly available health data and AI rewriting to evade plagiarism checks. This raises serious concerns about the integrity of scientific literature and the potential for AI to be exploited for academic misconduct. The flood of low-quality papers threatens the reliability of research findings and highlights the urgent need for robust solutions.
