@ALETranslation: "Publishers can improve their approach to AI tool use and policy in the following eight ways:

1) Working together to create a global standard framework
2) Making sure guidelines are live and continuously updated
3) Setting up transparent inclusive governance

4) Encouraging experimentation and learning within individual organizations
5) Creating a risk register for different kinds of tools
6) Differentiating between different bucket categories and substantive versus non-substantive use

Exciting new bioRxiv pilot with @Science_Cast: AI-generated paper summaries at 3 levels (general -> expert) to increase accessibility. Click Automated Services in the dashboard to view these.

It's a pilot experiment, tweaks to come. We value feedback 😊

R01 application was administratively withdrawn because we cited “Doe et al.” instead of using numerical citations. I understand it was our mistake and appreciate the need to anonymize, but why not check at the time of submission and give us a chance to correct? @NIH @NIHDirector.
