This talk summarizes evidence that AI-assisted grant proposals tend to be more novel and slightly more productive.
- AI-written grants use more people and less capital.
- Compared with non-AI grants, they are described as marginally more productive.
- The slide suggests the effect is visible in funded proposals and in how proposals are assembled, not just in writing style.
- The broader framing is that AI changes the organization of scientific work, not only the speed of writing.
