Are you curious about emerging AI tools for evidence synthesis and how they might fit into public health practice? Amid growing interest and considerable hype, questions remain about how reliable these tools are and whether they are ready for real-world use. This PHO Rounds provides an overview of the evolving landscape of AI tools designed to support evidence synthesis, with a focus on where they can add value and where important limitations remain.

We will highlight promising, lower-risk use cases alongside key methodological challenges related to validity, reproducibility, and evaluation. The session also considers these tools through a public health lens, including implications for equity, bias, environmental impact, and high-stakes decision-making. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to approach these tools cautiously and thoughtfully in their own practice.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Describe the current landscape of AI tools for evidence synthesis, including integration across different stages of the review process, the varying degrees of automation they offer, and their overall maturity.
• Identify potential benefits, limitations, and methodological challenges associated with using AI tools in evidence synthesis, especially in relation to reproducibility, and evaluation.
• Discuss the implications of AI tool use in evidence synthesis through a public health lens, including concerns about bias, equity, environmental impact, and the high stakes of decisions that affect population health.
