Researchers warn that paper mills now use generative AI to fabricate patient data. Fabricated citations in biomedical papers rose from about 4 to about 57 per 10,000 papers between 2023 and early 2026, and a screening model flagged 261,245 cancer studies. A new forensic paper authenticates video using the power grid's frequency signature, the shift to physical-signal verification this thesis predicts.
