Use of Artificial Intelligence for Medical Literature Search: Randomized Controlled Trial Using the Hackathon Format.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mapping out the research landscape around a project is often time consuming and difficult.

Objective

This study evaluates a commercial artificial intelligence (AI) search engine (IRIS.AI) for its applicability in an automated literature search on a specific medical topic.

Methods

To evaluate the AI search engine in a standardized manner, the concept of a science hackathon was applied. Three groups of researchers were tasked with performing a literature search on a clearly defined scientific project. All participants had a high level of expertise for this specific field of research. Two groups were given access to the AI search engine IRIS.AI. All groups were given the same amount of time for their search and were instructed to document their results. Search
