GDPR check for research & science models not public; Norwegian company that says it is ISO 27001-certified and GDPR-compliant, does not store user content, and deletes uploaded files and conversations after one day. Many tools build on a large model from, for example, OpenAI or Anthropic. If in doubt, ask for the data processing agreement: it sets out where your data goes.

- Who is Keenious for?
- Keenious focuses on research & science. It supports work such as literature searching and exploration with semantic search and citation networks, screening titles, abstracts and full texts for systematic reviews, and extracting and summarising data and study characteristics from papers.
- What should I look out for with AI in research & science?
- Never use AI as a source: every reference must be traceable to the original article, as fabricated or wrongly attributed citations are the most common error. Unpublished data, research proposals and peer-review manuscripts are confidential or commercially sensitive, so do not enter them into a consumer account without a data processing agreement, and check whether the provider stores your input or uses it for training (publishers usually prohibit this explicitly for peer review). If you work with personal data from research participants, the GDPR and your own ethics review apply: running models locally or using an EU-hosted tool with data minimisation is then the safe route. Finally, document your search strategy and your AI use: journals and funders increasingly ask for this, and a review must remain reproducible.
