and urgency of the challenges faced with climate change, should generative AI therefore form part of The researchers observed that, assuming responses the climate research toolkit? were accurate, the tools could provide a useful platform of initial ideas upon which to base further What is generative AI? research, and would be of particular use when writing A form of AI capable of generating text,. [...] In outputs from the tools can be sense checked as the case of text prediction, the focus of this briefing references to published papers are provided. [...] Two studies exploring the role of generative AI in scientific research have been recently published in the Risks of generative AI journal Nature. [...] The researchers concluded that while the provide false information, a phenomenon known as use of AI was helpful in speeding up elements of the ‘hallucinations’. [...] This presented the ‘human in the loop’ generative AI is a falliable tool and an over-reliance concept as a way of minimising bias when using AI, presents a danger in missing important details or which states that although AI can automate much of making errors.
