GoKawiilStudy: GPT-4o grant screening favored conventional proposals over novel ones
Diogo Machado of consultancy Technopolis tested OpenAI's GPT-4o on 139 real grant proposals submitted to Austria's Science Fund in 2021, asking it to pick the better of each pair. The model matched human reviewers' funding decisions 60% of the time, but was notably less likely than humans to back proposals rated high for novelty, according to the study published in Scientometrics.
