Description

The article recommends that LLM-assisted data extraction in research synthesis should only proceed with mandatory human validation of every data point before it is recorded into a coding form. The authors argue that because LLM decision-making is opaque and probabilistic, "human validation of LLM-extracted data remains a mandatory step at this time." They built AIDE specifically to enforce this validation step rather than allow bulk recording.
