Looking Beyond Google Scholar with ScholarAI
Artificial intelligence (AI) chat interfaces, like ChatGPT, elevate user experiences beyond traditional search by engaging users in a dialogue, refining search queries in real-time based on user feedback and synthesizing information so users can better understand what they are looking at.
Traditional search engines (e.g., Google) simply return a list of results based on keywords, leaving it up to the user to sift through large quantities of information to determine result relevance and importance.
The interactive process when using AI not only enables more precise results (making it easier to uncover relevant information), these AI chat interfaces also pinpoint key information snippets from a variety of sources at once and summarize them. This helps direct user attention to the most important aspects of query results.
Additionally, AI systems learn from past interactions to continuously improve their understanding of user preferences to create a more personalized experience. This shift from transactional search tones to a conversational one makes finding information more intuitive, efficient, and personalized.
Building AI Our Users Can Trust
To date, one of the marquee problems of AI systems is hallucinations. This is exemplified by the recent headlines detailing how fake sources, produced by ChatGPT, have created legal trouble for a lawyer.
These “hallucinations,” or made up answers, continue to be the most talked about achilles heel for ChatGPT, and other AI systems. This is also the primary problem AI tools must overcome to be useful for technical work, namely in science and research, health and medicine, business, and law.
This problem is not unique to AI, as misleading information is available online and can be found using Google search and other search engines; however, AI enables deeper interactions by users and thus the importance of a trustworthy system is paramount.
Thus, just like Google needs Google Scholar to provide accurate information, ChatGPT needs the ScholarAI plugin.
ScholarAI virtually eliminates hallucinations by ChatGPT by connecting GPT-4 to peer-reviewed scientific and other technical documents through open access API calls and user-provided PDFs. All responses created by ChatGPT when the ScholarAI plugin is installed are cited directly in-chat. By accomplishing these goals, the ScholarAI plugin for ChatGPT creates confidence for users across technical disciplines.
