OpenAI Launches Prism To Streamline Scientific Writing

OpenAI this week launched Prism, a free cloud LaTeX-native workspace that integrates GPT-5.2 to assist drafting, revision, and collaboration on scientific papers. The tool can search literature, generate or refactor equations and references, and convert diagrams to LaTeX, raising concerns it may ease production of polished fake papers and hallucinated citations. Researchers and conferences like ICLR urge disclosure and stricter editorial policies to curb misuse.
