The University of Limerick has launched an investigation into how text-generated by AI came to be included in a scholarly book authored by one of its senior academics.

Earlier this year, the book, titled Advanced Nanovaccines for Cancer Immunotherapy, was first published by Springer Nature, a German-British academic publishing company.
