Abstract

Summary:. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) large language models are an emerging technology, with ChatGPT and Gemini being 2 well-known examples. The current literature discusses clinical applications and limitations of AI, but its role in research has not yet been extensively evaluated. This study aimed to assess the role of ChatGPT and Gemini in developing novel and clinically relevant research ideas (RIs) for systematic reviews (SRs) in head and neck reconstruction. ChatGPT and Gemini were prompted to provide 10 novel and clinically relevant RIs for SRs in the following domains: head
