Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is changing the world in ways never seen before, and it is impossible to let it go unnoticed. The webinar on “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Scholarly Writing & Publication” follows on the recent ASSAf Presidential Roundtable hosted on 22 Feb 2023 on “The implications of ChatGPT on Assessment in Higher Education”. The Scholarly Publishing Programme at the Academy of South Africa (ASSAf SPP) regards itself as a trendsetter but also an innovator, investigating and implementing new trends where it can benefit science and scholarly publishing in general. The focus of this webinar will be on AI tools such as ChatGPT (Microsoft), Bard (Google) and many more.
During this webinar panellists addressed questions such as: What are the challenges and the opportunities AI brings to scholarly writing and publishing? How should SA journals pro-actively address/accommodate this phenomenon and what more can we expect? Would it be ethical to use ChatGPT to write or review scientific articles for scholarly journals? How effective are applications used to track text prepared with the help of Bots and how can they be improved? Should Bots be listed as authors or acknowledged differently?
The above questions and many more were addressed by our expert speakers:- Emeritus Prof Mike Lambert (Session Moderator) (University of Cape Town)- Dr Burgert Swanepoel (University of the Free State)- Prof Tommie Meyer (University of Cape Town)- Prof Bhekisipho Twala (Tshwane University of Technology)
