"The rise of #generativeAI has supercharged this #fraud #industry.. The #peerreview system, academia’s safeguard against fraud, faces its own problems.. The #scientific #community must reckon with how its own #structures; the #publication metrics, #funding mechanisms & #career incentives, have created #vulnerabilities that unethical systems can exploit. Until we address these #systemic issues, the fraud industry will thrive.. The question is whether we can afford not to." #science #integrity
