Merged summary
TL;DR - This Nature commentary argues that universities should teach students to treat AI as a critical-thinking partner rather than an authoritative source. As AI becomes embedded in science, researchers must learn both to challenge its outputs and to evaluate whether they can do so effectively.
- AI tools are increasingly important collaborators in scientific work.
- Students should be trained to scrutinize AI-generated claims instead of accepting them as correct.
- Universities need methods to assess students’ ability to critically engage with AI.
- The provided excerpt does not specify curricula, evaluation methods, or empirical results.
