The Practical Side to AI and Journal Publishing

description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – in particular the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, to generate, refine and review content – is currently on the mind of many journal editors, researchers and publishers. Some journals and publishers are beginning to develop policies and guidelines around acknowledgement and acceptable use in journal content. However, the vast majority simply do not have the resource, information or knowledge to act quickly enough to develop their own. In this session, speakers will discuss what to do where submitted content appears to have been created or improved by AI (is it ok, is it not, should we be using it more or less, can we check if it is, how do we ensure transparency?) and what policies and guidance is being used or considered by other institutions and university presses.
