Hum is pleased to announce that the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has begun piloting Alchemist Review, Hum’s AI-based editorial assistant.

IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization advancing technology for humanity. This pilot expands IEEE’s existing partnership with Hum and represents a strategic initiative to explore how AI can enhance editorial efficiency.

Alchemist Review performs comprehensive manuscript analysis, automatically identifying crucial research elements including primary hypotheses, methodological approaches, and claimed contributions. Additionally, the platform leverages Grounded AI's citation verification technology to ensure reference accuracy and detect potential retractions or contextual inconsistencies.

“Our hope is that the insights provided by Alchemist Review will support IEEE's editors in making faster, better-informed decisions while minimizing administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on higher-value editorial activities,” said Dawn Melley, Senior Director, Publishing Operations at IEEE.

"IEEE's reputation for technological leadership makes this new phase of our partnership particularly exciting," said Dustin Smith, Co-founder and CEO of Hum. "We're excited to work with their world-class editorial teams to discover how AI can best enhance human expertise in scholarly publishing.”

"This collaboration represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking experimentation that IEEE embraces,” added Melley. "This pilot gives us the opportunity to discover new possibilities for enhancing our editorial workflows while learning alongside our community about the role of AI in the future of academic publishing."
