  • Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.

Questions

How safe is Keenious for research & science?
Keenious has a strong GDPR profile. Usable in research & academia, provided you use the business version and follow the points of attention below. Good safeguards, but not on every point.
Does Keenious train on my data?

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 Unpublished data, research proposals and peer-review manuscripts are confidential or commercially sensitive, so do not enter them into a consumer account without a data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.
