What LANL-approved AI tools are available (as of July 2024)?
Answer
Currently, LANL nor the Research Library does not maintain an official list of "LANL-approved AI Tools." Given that the choice of AI tools, like research tools, are often based on individual needs and preferences, we typically don't make specific recommendations. However, we can share some suggestions based on recent inquiries:
- Free AI tools: Some research tools that we have seen interest in include Consensus, Perplexity, and Research Rabbit and in plagiarism detector tools like GPTZero.
- Subscription-based AI tools: At present, the Research Library has not purchased any proprietary AI tools for lab-wide use. However, we're open to suggestions! If you have a specific tool in mind, please submit your recommendation using our Purchase Recommendation Form. We'll be happy to consider it for future acquisition.
As of July 2024, the Research Library is waiting for information on the forthcoming I&T AI Portal/Hub, which may shed additional light on this topic.
