AI Features in EBSCO

EBSCO databases have made Artificial Intelligence (AI) features available in most of their databases. 

Generative AI Insights

AI Insights offer concise summaries, presenting 2-5 key points for each document. This consistent format, applied across multiple databases and deep backfiles of licensed content, introduces a new level of uniformity, facilitating rapid review. The aim of AI Insights is to reduce the time users spend searching for relevant full-text articles supporting their research. 

How AI Insights are generated in EBSCO

AI Insights summaries are generated by prompting a Large Language Model to summarize insights from the specific article the user selected AI Insights for. The AI Insight prompt uses a method called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to reduce hallucinations. EBSCO also reviews a representative sample of AI Insights with Subject Matter Expert (SME) Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) for biases, tone, accuracy, and timeliness of Insights as a quality and responsible AI metric.

How do You Access Generative AI Insights in EBSCO? 

The Generate AI Insights button is available from the results list of your search below each article. You can click/tap the button to generate the insight. In some cases you will not see the Generative AI Insights listed. These are cases where the content is too short, or a publisher might not have granted permission.
