Rachel A. George, PhD, a Lecturer in International Relations at Stanford and Legal Innovation & Policy Fellow at Stanford Law School, warns that fabricated research is undermining national security policies worldwide.
"In the age of AI, research integrity has become critical ...infrastructure," she writes.
