Abstract

This presentation from the 2024 BTAA Responsible Conduct of Research Collaborative conference, "Promises and Pitfalls of AI for Research and Scholarship Integrity" was held on November 13, 2024. The presentation explores the extant legal landscape regarding artificial intelligence and copyright in the United State at the time as well as current policies from the academic publishers and publishing ethics societies. In the context of limited legal and community governance over AI use, the presentation shares framing questions and considerations for the use of generative and assistive AI technologies in research, scholarly publishing, and research integrity.
