智能体AI会颠覆科研资助体系吗?
Nature 这篇用 12 家资助机构的真实数据证明 AI agent 正在让科研基金申请量暴涨、质量趋同,评审系统面临结构性失灵。做科研管理或基金评审的人该认真想想对策了。
新一代智能体AI工具能自动生成、评审并提交项目申请书,极大提升了效率。数据显示,2022至2025年间,多个国际资助机构的申请量激增14%至142%,且申请质量普遍提升。调查显示,58%的研究者已使用AI工具,其中41%用于起草申请书。这导致评审者面临海量高质量申请,难以有效区分。尽管资助机构目前多限制AI使用,但智能体AI能根据资助方要求全流程优化提案,可能从根本上改变竞争格局。政策制定者需尽快重新设计资助分配体系,以应对系统性挑战。
