Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) – automated technologies that can be used to generate text, data, imagery, and a variety of other media, frequently indistinguishable from human-generated content – is now relevant across all academic disciplines and has profoundly changed the way research can be conducted. The new capabilities of generative AI technology heighten research integrity risks, as well as present opportunities for advancing responsible research. Several questions not yet asked at the World Conferences emerge. The principles of research integrity ensure trustworthy research – Are the established principles of research integrity robust to the development of new technologies, including generative AI? Researchers remain responsible for the trustworthiness of their work irrespective of the tools they use – How can we support the responsible use of generative AI to ensure the positive impact of research? There are many potential positive applications of generative AI technologies in research, and in particular, publishing – Should its use in publishing be banned? New innovations are accessible and in use before policy can adapt – Must the AI Industry do more for research integrity? Can the research integrity community partner with Industry leaders to address these issues?
