🎤 Michał Wieczorek and I explored the #ethics of using #AI in #education with CITI Program's On Campus Podcast. In part 1, I stressed that the core added value of using #GenerativeAI systems in education is that they allow learners to ask questions on the spot. When using a text…

🎤 Gareth Dyke asked 'Should #peer_review of journal articles be recognized with monetary compensation?' My response: 'I think, for the same reason that monetary compensation for #authorship of papers is frowned upon, monetary compensation of peer reviews is also nonsensical…

We propose 'Two questions researchers employing #GenAI tools should ask themselves are: 1) Can I always verify the #accuracy of GenAI in a specific context? 2) Can I identify all kinds of #errors and #biases in generated content?
If the answer to these questions is “no” or “not…

“How to blow the whistle and still have a career afterwards” is a classic that still resonates in the research ethics and integrity domain. Wonderful recap of the article and the topic of #whistleblowing in science during #APPE2024 . #CKGunsalus #EugenieReich

An amazing learning opportunity to be part of the #SyntheticData group during the NIH’s workshop “Toward an #Ethical Framework for #AI in Biomedical and Behavioral Research: #Transparency for Data and Model Reuse”. Kudos to the organizers and attendees

Thrilled to share that I’m starting a new position as Assistant Professor Northwestern! NU Preventive Medicine & Galter Health Sciences Library & Learning Center remain my home base where I'll keep exploring the ethics of employing #AI in research as well as #OpenScience , ethics of #Authorship and #ResearchIntegrity .

In today's Chicago Tribune, I & Kristi Holmes explain how despite its great promises, #GenerativeAI could become a liability for the world through exacerbating #misinformation , #global_conflicts and changing work conditions for both white- and blue-collar workers.

Modern science is increasingly international & interdisciplinary; it is 'without borders'. We offer practical guidelines for discussing #authorship to assist the community in minimizing tensions. #OpenAccess version will soon be made available through SigmaXiSociety

🤯 #OpenAI , has not only not disclosed the data used to train their model, they will also defend their customers, and 'pay the costs incurred', if they face 'legal claims around copyright infringement.' #Copyright_Shield

How AI challenges the #ethics of research and what we should do about it? David Resnik and I explore this question and offer new guidance: osf.io/preprints/soca…

We wrote on how finetuned #LLMs impact #Research_Integrity in The American Journal of Bioethics & argued against their indiscriminate use cuz they 1) enable writing about ill-conceived ideas 2) propagate biases 3) worsen #Publish_or_Perish 4) likely benefit the privileged tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
