LLM Influence in Academic Publishing Surpasses 50%, Study Finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This research, which analyzed a significant number of papers, projects that this trend will reach 51% by 2025. The study also highlighted an inequality in adoption, noting that LLM influence is less prevalent in lower-prestige and non-English speaking institutions, presenting a new policy consideration. AI
