Is it OK for AI to write science papers? Nature survey shows researchers are split
Briefly

The article discusses how generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, are reshaping scientific communication, particularly in manuscript writing. A survey of over 5,000 academics highlighted a significant divide in attitudes toward the ethical use of AI. While many find it acceptable to use AI for tasks related to manuscript preparation, actual usage is low, with many opting not to disclose their AI assistance. The survey reveals varying acceptance levels for various AI applications in research, prompting deeper discussions on ethics in academic writing and peer review.
The survey results suggest that researchers are sharply divided on what they feel are appropriate practices regarding AI use in writing and reviewing manuscripts.
Relatively few academics report using AI for manuscript preparation, despite generally considering it an acceptable practice, with many failing to disclose its use.
