Can Google Scholar survive the AI revolution?
Briefly

Jevin West, a computational social scientist, notes that Google Scholar's role in science has been remarkable, but 'if there was ever a moment when Google Scholar could be overthrown, it might be now' due to emerging AI competitors.
Alberto Martín Martín observes that many of Google Scholar's advantages, like free access and sophisticated search options, are increasingly shared by other platforms, which could shift user preferences.
Aaron Tay highlights that while Google Scholar remains his main search tool, he has started to use AI tools like ChatGPT recently for literature searching and summarizing, reflecting changing patterns among researchers.
Anurag Acharya, co-founder of Google Scholar, expresses support for innovations aimed at simplifying the access and understanding of scholarly information, seeing them as beneficial for scientific advancement.
