AI-assisted scientific literature review
What AI can assist with: AI tools help search, screen, extract data from, and synthesize research papers while reviewers verify inclusion decisions and source-level evidence.
Practical meaning: this can speed up part of the task, but still needs human direction and review.
Human responsibility: you review every output and keep the final decision.
Source: Elicit
What remains human responsibility
Evidence shows a capability exists; it does not prove adoption in every workplace or full-task replacement.
Evidence limits
Each capability is verified from the cited source only. A source shows that a capability exists; it does not establish adoption, deployment depth or outcomes in any particular workplace.
