Tuesday, July 16 • 10:30am – 11:30am

The PAM Industry Partners Roundtable will feature a moderated discussion of the ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) threatens to compromise research integrity, and what tools are available to help publishers detect plagiarism, data fabrication, and image manipulation. We will also discuss how editorial policies on the use of AI in the research process are crafted, what they allow and prohibit for both authors and referees, and how they may change as we move forward. While the focus will be on the sciences, these issues are affecting publishers in every discipline and should be of interest to a broad audience. Format will include 30 minutes of presentations, followed by 20-30 minutes of open discussion and audience Q&A.

Panelists:

Kivmars Bowling, Publications Director, SIAM

Steven Smith, Publisher, Development & Open Science, AIP Publishing

Jon Speilburg, Manager, Publishing Strategy and Partnerships, SPIE

Moderator: Chris Doty
