Dear colleagues,
I have confirmed that people are beginning to use ChatGPT to do their NIH reviews. I believe this is a dangerous precedent given its well-known errors, biases, and lack of original thought. I’ve written a letter to NIH regarding these concerns and would welcome your input (please use “suggest” mode) and signatures. Please feel free to distribute this note to others who may find it of interest. I’m also happy to discuss whether to send this just to NIH or jointly, as an opinion piece to somewhere open with a reasonably high profile, like JAMA.

Utilizing ChatGPT enables reviewers to efficiently exchange insights, mitigate potential biases, and facilitate a more rigorous and equitable evaluation of research proposals. This innovative application of AI technology has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the NIH grant review process.
