The top ten influential researchers, published every year by the scientific journal Nature, include a non-human researcher for the first time: ChatGPT.
The chat robot ChatGPT supported by AI (artificial intelligence) has been given a place in the list, which has eleven names this year. “ChatGPT has dominated the news this year, and its influence is being felt across science – and society,” said Richard Monastersky, editor-in-chief of Nature. ‘He helped draw up scientific works – sometimes in secret. He created designs for presentations, grant applications and courses, drafted computer codes and served as a sounding board for research ideas,” Nature writes in an article on ChatGPT.
According to Monastersky, the chatbot’s inclusion in the top ten is therefore ‘a recognition of the profound way in which generative artificial intelligence is changing the development and progress of science’.

The other side of the coin is also pointed out. ChatGPT has ‘hallucinated’ facts and references and the chatbot has also spewed out metastatic language. “But above all, it has stimulated people’s imagination,” he said.
It is still unclear what possibilities the ChatGPT-like systems will offer in the future, Nature emphasizes. ‘But the generative AI revolution has begun. And there is no going back.’
