QED Science uses AI to validate scientific research

QED Science, an Israeli startup, is utilizing artificial intelligence to validate scientific research and manuscripts. The company’s AI validity engine analyzes individual claims within grant proposals and manuscripts, testing them against existing published literature to score them for originality and validity.

In addition to its validation tools, the company publishes ‘The 1%’, a blind ranking of the strongest new preprints in the life sciences. While the technology aims to clean up noisy scientific literature and ensure researchers build upon reliable data, the use of AI in this capacity has raised discussions regarding transparency, bias, and objectivity in the scientific community.
