The National Institutes of Health (US) have officially forbidden use of large language models and other generative AI in peer review of research grant applications (see linked blog post). This despite the quoted opinion of an AI (likely GPT-4 or similar), which was gung-ho in favor of AI use.

They also mention the possibility of applicants using AI in preparing their applications, which I'm sure is already happening. This is not forbidden, but said to be at the applicants' own risk.

A year ago, I couldn't have imagined such statements from NIH would be needed soon.
