Google Scholar faces a significant threat as it becomes inundated with fake AI-generated research papers. A study from the Harvard Kennedy School's Misinformation Review highlights the alarming rise of these questionable studies, which are often produced using generative AI tools like ChatGPT. The proliferation of such papers raises serious concerns about the credibility of academic research and the integrity of the search engine itself.
The researchers identified 139 dubious studies that mimic legitimate scientific writing but contain clear signs of AI generation. Many of these papers were found in non-indexed journals, with some even appearing in reputable scientific publications. If left unaddressed, this trend could severely damage the reputation of Google Scholar and erode trust in academic research.
