“Unlocking Ethical AI: Insights from Aaron Wood on Safeguarding Employee Rights and Research Integrity”
Research integrity often means ensuring that papers are original, created by the named authors, and that peer review is impartial. However, there are larger concerns with AI that research is accomplished with the highest quality materials, such as peer reviewed versions of record. How does APA approach larger questions of research integrity and AI?
It’s about the appropriate use of science and the curation of scientific knowledge. I think a good way of illustrating it is to think about retractions. Look at cases where a research paper that has been published is then retracted either by the author, for example, because the methodology was flawed and therefore the results were flawed, or by the editors because there was data manipulation or other dubious activities. That retracted content is part of the scientific record. You should know that it’s there, but it’s not really part of the scientific knowledge. Your knowledge is supposed to go past that.
