The process described by "ailef" is exactly what I have in mind. I manually tried the following prompt (which surely has a lot of room for improvement) in ChatGPT (GPT 4.0) with a few examples and got exactly what I needed.
Prompt:
Disambiguate the initials of "X Y Lastname" based on the following JSON input. Do not conduct a web search. Return the full name and the link to the reference as a JSON object with the keys "first_name", "last_name", "link_to_reference". Return "not found" in case you are not able to disambiguate the initials. Do not return anything else.
JSON input:
[the array scoped under the key "organic_results" of the JSON object SerpApi returns when searching for "{author_last_name_with_initials} full name {institute_name}" using Google]
