Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and language processing are increasingly transforming the development and application of evidence syntheses. Tools like AI language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) and automation platforms (e.g., ASReview, Laser AI, DistillerSR) present new opportunities for various tasks, including search strategy formulation, screening, data extraction, risk of bias evaluation, and drafting evidence syntheses. These innovations can markedly accelerate the production and update processes of evidence syntheses, benefiting both researchers and end-users. However, it is essential to comprehend the strengths and limitations of these technologies to ensure quality is maintained.
