Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly permeating various aspects of modern life, including scientific research and writing. While AI applications in this domain are not novel, the release of ChatGPT in November 2022 marked a pivotal moment [1], catalyzing a significant shift from traditional search tools to AI-driven platforms. However, as with any emerging technology, integrating AI into scientific writing introduces both opportunities and challenges, including potential risks and benefits [2,3]. One of the most contentious issues in recent years has been the question of scientific authorship. Journals, editors, and peer reviewers are actively grappling with how to effectively regulate the use of AI tools in the preparation of scientific manuscripts. Although AI-detection tools have been developed to assess the likelihood of AI-generated content, their accuracy and reliability remain suboptimal [4].
