The premise
Pre-registration prevents p-hacking; AI lowers the friction of writing one to nearly zero.
What AI does well here
- Draft hypotheses in directional form
- Suggest a primary outcome and secondary measures
- Specify analysis plans that match your design
- Flag analyses that would be exploratory rather than confirmatory
What AI cannot do
- Decide which hypotheses are scientifically interesting
- Catch hidden flexibility in your protocol
