STM publishes new discussion document on responsible use of research content in generative AI
STM has published "Toward Responsible Use of Research Content in Generative AI," a discussion document putting forward considerations for the responsible use of research content in generative AI tools, and inviting the broader research and GenAI development community to engage.
The document focuses on what makes research content and research communication distinct from other types of content and communication: it is quality-assured through peer review and anchored to a Version of Record, with scholarly publishers playing a central role in upholding integrity standards.
When GenAI tools handle research content, these properties of scholarly communication become relevant — including the occurrence of corrections and retractions, accurate attribution, proper citation, and clear signals of verifiability. STM is actively seeking input from GenAI developers, researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers.
