Some publishers also banning use of bot in preparation of submissions but others see its adoption as inevitable
With the right guardrails in place, Skipper believes, ChatGPT and similar AI tools could be beneficial for science, not least in levelling the playing field for non-native English speakers who could use AI programs to make the language in their papers more fluent.
Elsevier, which publishes about 2,800 journals, including Cell and the Lancet, has taken a similar stance to Springer-Nature. Its guidelines allow the use of AI tools “to improve the readability and language of the research article, but not to replace key tasks that should be done by the authors, such as interpreting data or drawing scientific conclusions,” said Elsevier’s Andrew Davis, adding that authors must declare if and how they have used AI tools.
Sandra Wachter, a professor of technology and regulation at the University of Oxford, said: “It’s great to see publishers taking action. ChatGPT allows for corners to be cut and this is especially troubling if the suggested content is not rigorously double-checked but just assumed to be correct. This can lead to misinformation and junk science. I think many other sectors such as education, art and journalism will have to think about similar steps, because they are facing similar challenges.
