3. Methodenforum der Cochrane Deutschland Stiftung: Artificial Intelligence in Evidence Synthesis

The 3. Methods-Forum in 2024 is dedicated to a highly relevant topic that is playing an increasingly important role in the field of evidence synthesis: "Opportunities, Limitations, and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Evidence Synthesis in Health Care".

The continuous advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and language processing have a growing impact on how evidence syntheses are created and utilised. The development of AI language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) and the evolution of automation tools (e.g., ASReview, Laser AI, DistillerSR) present new opportunities and challenges in areas such as search strategy development, screening and data extraction, as well as in risk of bias assessment. This creates opportunities for faster conducting or updating of evidence syntheses, which can be of great significance for evidence synthesis creators and users. In the framework of the 2024 Methods-Forum, we will illuminate the various steps in evidence synthesis and the role of AI language models in these steps.

However, the use of AI for evidence synthesis requires a comprehensive understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. To create high quality evidence syntheses with the support of AI, it is crucial to be aware of the limitations of AI language models and automation tools. At the 2024 Methods-Forum, we aim to reflect on whether and how they can be combined with traditional methods of evidence synthesis.

The 2024 Methods-Forum is an excellent opportunity to discuss activities related to evidence syntheses with experts in the field of AI language models and automation tools and to weigh opportunities, limitations, and risks. The event is designed for those with basic knowledge in the methodology of systematic reviews who wish to stay informed about current developments in the field of AI and evidence synthesis or contribute their own experiences.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
