Not enough is understood about the replication crisis in the social sciences. Or indeed in the hard sciences. I do wonder whether this is something that AI will rectify.

How would AI do anything to rectify it?
The same way it would correct typos in a text. It's just a tool, you tell it to find inconsistencies, see what results that yields, and optimize it for verification of claims.
it will not, ai reads and "believes" the heavily cited but incorrect papers.
