Artificial Intelligence in Research: Policy Considerations and Guidance
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are spurring tremendous progress in medical research to enhance human health and longevity. To that end, NIH has a robust system of policies and practices that guide stakeholders across the biomedical and behavioral research ecosystem. While AI may not be explicitly mentioned, NIH’s policy framework is designed to responsibly guide and govern advancing science and emerging technologies, including development and use of AI technologies in research.

Search for AI Articles in PubMed

Want to discover more on how artificial intelligence has been used in the medical field? Try copying and pasting the following search string into PubMed.

("Artificial Intelligence"[Mesh] OR "Machine Learning"[Mesh] OR "Natural Language Processing"[Mesh]) AND ("Medicine"[Mesh] OR "Medical Informatics"[Mesh] OR "Health Services Research"[Mesh])

Using the National Library of Medicine (NLM) Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms in Boolean format is a great way to narrow your search to specific articles. You can also adjust the search terms as needed based on your own specific requirements.

Legal Considerations

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

Always check what a publisher's AI terms and conditions are before reusing their content in addition to any copyright and publishing restrictions. Due to growing concerns about copyright infringement and protecting intellectual property, publishers can impose restrictions on using AI to analyze their material for research purposes. Sometimes AI analysis can be limited by subscription or licensing agreements that require researchers to obtain explicit permission or negotiate terms for data access.
