LLMs and the Language of Science: Charting a Course for Clear Communication

This research provides exciting insights into how we can improve the way we communicate scientific findings using both human and Generative AI tools. By recognizing potential interpretation differences between laypeople, scientists, and Large Language Models (LLMs), we can enhance clarity and prevent overgeneralization in scientific communication. This opens up new avenues for developing more effective and accessible science communication strategies.

• •LLMs may overgeneralize scientific findings, potentially leading to misinterpretations.
• •Laypeople often interpret scientific statements differently than scientists.
• •The study emphasizes the importance of carefully choosing language in science communication to ensure accuracy and clarity.
