AI tools should be designed to maintain confidentiality in reviews.
Future improvements hinge on integrating AI while retaining human involvement.

Abstract

AI can support peer review by screening for basic errors. However, it lacks insight, critical judgment, and contextual awareness. Human input remains essential for meaningful review. Review-specific AI tools that preserve confidentiality are needed for future integration.
