In this timeless battle of man versus machines, the use of AI tools to generate content is inevitable yet enviable. The power these tools hold over time management and human resource management is massive. One of the advantages of using AI tools in medical writing is that it can help with various time-consuming tasks such as language writing, text generation, translation, grammar correction, formatting, and literature reviews.

However, there are concerns about bias and inaccuracies, and it is important to examine the validity and reliability of these AI tools. Concerning the legal obligation and ethical responsibility to ensure that the information we as medical writing agencies provide is accurate and reliable, experts believe that human intelligence and input will always be necessary to verify the accuracy of the text generated by these models.

  1. Are there any changes in medical writing requirements from clients since the advent of AI tools in medical writing?
