I liked this thoughtful article about q.e.d‘s AI Review and our collaboration with @openrxiv.bsky.social (biorxiv) in @nature.com. Yes, AI is here to stay and we need to get ready. One important note that was missing in this piece: we intentionally made qed an authors-centric tool (see more below) 👇

Giorgio Gilestro @giorgio.gilest.ro · 5d

@nature.com asked me to write an op-ed on the perspective of the AI reviewing process, prompted by the recent partnership between @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social and @qedscience.bsky.social

Hope my perspective adds value to the conversation.

AI reviewers are here — we are not ready

Artificial intelligence promises rapid and polite feedback on papers — but we must first review the reviewer.
