The current article in the <em>Journal of Materials Chemistry A<\/em> shows that even experts are often unable to reliably distinguish between real and AI-generated measurement data, with an accuracy rate of only 40&#x2013;51%. At the same time, widespread data errors (20&#x2013;30% in material characterisations) and bias in training datasets occur, jeopardising the reliability of AI-supported research. Without robust integrity standards, we risk AI-based materials research undermining its own foundations. With clear rules and responsible use, however, it can become the most powerful driver of innovation of our time. The authors propose a combination of technical solutions, stricter standards, better data practices and training to ensure that AI accelerates materials research without undermining its scientific basis.<\/p>\n<p>To the original paper:<br>\nN.
