Company Offering ‘100% Human-Written, Never AI’ Medical Research Is Entirely AI
Why it matters
AI is enabling credential fraud and contaminating the research supply chain itself. This is no longer theoretical risk—it's happening in medical publishing, where practitioners and institutions rely on peer review integrity. The gap between AI capability and institutional safeguards is becoming a workplace and trust crisis.
