Intelligence and the Art of Scientific Publishing - an Editor's Perspective — •Andreas Buchleitner — Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

Artificial intelligence (AI) shatters fundamental rules of the scientific publishing process. It induces a certain level of perplexity and disorientation within the academic realm, on how to react and/or to adapt - at a speed which is dictated from the outside, by a rapidly developing technology, together with the economic traction which comes with it. Different stakeholders of the publication process suggest distinct remedies, certainly guided by their respective perspectives, levels of expertise, and interests. And, clearly, there are highly nonlinear interdependencies between the thus reorganizing publication process, standards of good scientific practice, and the - in many respects highly disputable - incentives which constrain science and, in particular, academic careers. After stating some of the immediate challenges AI poses to the inner workings of the editorial process, the talk will expand upon the above interdependencies, and contemplate the genuine role and responsibility of the scientific community in shaping them.
