AI Outperforms Experts in Predicting Study Outcomes

A new study demonstrates that large language models (LLMs) can predict the outcomes of neuroscience studies more accurately than human experts, achieving 81% accuracy compared to 63% for neuroscientists. Using a tool called BrainBench, researchers tested LLMs and human experts on identifying real versus fabricated study abstracts, finding that the AI models excelled even when neuroscientists had domain-specific expertise.
