- James Evans' team used BERT to scan millions of papers and identify AI-augmented research.
- They validated BERT's classifications with experts and found 87.5% agreement.
Quantified Career Gains From AI Use
- Researchers doing AI-augmented work published about three times more and received nearly five times more citations.
- They also became research leaders earlier than non-AI peers.
