Pharmaceutical Sciences: Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are interesting tools emerging in the healthcare space, especially when it comes to research and information. Before you proceed with using them, please review the links provided below. 

1. Avoid plagiarism. Double check and review your citations to ensure accuracy. AI/LLMs do not understand how to avoid plagiarizing.   
   • UIC Avoiding Plagiarism Guide
2. Review the AI/LLM policies and procedures adopted by UIC. 
   • List of Approved Artificial Intelligence Tools from UIC Technology Solutions
   • UIC Statement and Policies on Responsible use of Generative AI
   • UIC College of Medicine Page with information from various sources 
3. Literature review resources: Learn how to evaluate resources and critically appraise literature before asking for help from an AI/LLM tool. 
   • UIC Guide on Scientific Writing: Literature Reviews
   • CATE's Guidance on when and how to engage AI tools from a student learner perspective
   • AI-Assisted Literature Reviews Guide from the University of Iowa

These tools are interesting and may be helpful; however, carefully evaluate the work that any AI tool generates for you. Ultimately, it is your professional opinion against a new, emerging software that is still "learning" and in development.
