A recent study published in the Harvard Kennedy School's Misinformation Review reveals that AI-generated research is increasingly infiltrating Google Scholar, raising alarms about academic credibility. Two-thirds of analyzed papers showed signs of AI involvement, with significant representation across health, environment, and computing sectors. This surge in AI content threatens to drown out legitimate research and confuses the public regarding trustworthy information. Experts warn that reliance on AI-generated studies could lead to 'evidence hacking,' compromising the integrity of scientific literature.
