“How we do systematic reviews needs to change, it’s not sustainable.” – @ellaflem.bsky.social Great to see our joint position statement on the responsible use of AI In evidence synthesis and the RAISE recommendations mentioned in this piece from @newrepublic.com 👇

How AI Is Reshaping Science’s Most Trusted Tool

Systematic reviews take a long time, but are the gold standard in evaluating evidence and producing medical recommendations. AI could speed that up—in theory.
