The Phases of Living Evidence Synthesis Using AI AI: Living Evidence Synthesis (Version 1).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Living evidence (LE) synthesis refers to the method of continuously updating systematic evidence reviews to incorporate new evidence. It has emerged to address the limitations of the traditional systematic review process, particularly the absence of or delays in publication updates. The emergence of COVID-19 accelerated the progress in the field of LE synthesis, and currently, the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in LE synthesis are expanding rapidly. However, in which phases of LE synthesis should AI be used remains an unanswered question.

Objective

This study aims to (1) document the phases of LE synthesis where AI is used and (2) investigate whether AI improves the efficiency, accuracy, or utility of LE synthesis.
