Artificial intelligence, generative AI and large language models have exploded in the fall of 2023. Keeping up with the changes could be a full time job. This section aims to highlight a few resources covering topics related to health care, education and the uses of the various types that will undoubtedly continue to grow and change,
AI basics
The library has this resource covering Artificial Intelligence's role for identifying resources and content for research.
- How can generative AI help with researchDescribes generative AI with suggestions for when to use it and when other tools might be better.
- Authorship and AI ToolsCOPE Position Statement
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT or Large Language Models in research publications is expanding rapidly. COPE joins organisations, such as WAME and the JAMA Network among others, to state that AI tools cannot be listed as an author of a paper.
AI tools cannot meet the requirements for authorship as they cannot take responsibility for the submitted work. As non-legal entities, they cannot assert the presence or absence of conflicts of interest nor manage copyright and license agreements.
Authors who use AI tools in the writing of a manuscript, production of images or graphical elements of the paper, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be transparent in disclosing in the Materials and Methods (or similar section) of the paper how the AI tool was used and which tool was used. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics.
Citing AI?
- APA Publishing PoliciesOne section states:
When a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model is used in the drafting of a manuscript for an APA publication, the use of AI must be disclosed in the methods section and cited. - Chatbots, Generative AI, and Scholarly ManuscriptsWorld Association of Medical Authors (WAME)
One section states
2: Authors should be transparent when chatbots are used and provide information about how they were used.
