"Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics."
COPE, the membership organization for publication ethics, states that AI tools cannot be listed as an author of a paper, and that any use of AI must be transparently disclosed by the author.
"Standards provide a roadmap for evaluating and integrating AI systems into dental practice by establishing criteria for safety, efficacy, transparency and fairness."
The American Dental Association (ADA) has published several standards to help create a roadmap for using AI in dentistry. The standards focus especially on annotating and collecting data from 2D radiographs to classify the images and use them in clinical decision-making. See JADA's Policy for more information on AI in publications.
"Penn embraces innovations like generative artificial intelligence ('AI') models in teaching, learning, research, and the effective stewardship of Penn’s resources. To this end, this document provides guidelines for members of the Penn community who are using, or interested in using, AI in pursuit of Penn’s mission."
The University of Pennsylvania provides extensive guidance for students, educators, and researchers on using AI. The guidance highlights transparency, bias, privacy, safety, and other concerns. It also points students to the Code of Student Conduct and Code of Academic Integrity to ensure that any AI usage complies with both codes.
"Authors must disclose the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their manuscript in a new section entitled `Declaration of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process."
The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) forbids using AI to replace key researcher tasks, but allows it to improve language and readability. They highlight AI oversight and transparency, and do not allow AI to be listed as an author.
View's JADA's Policy - See section entitled "The use and declaration of AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing"
"These policies have been triggered by the rise of generative AI* and AI-assisted technologies, which are expected to increasingly be used by content creators. These policies aim to provide greater transparency and guidance to authors, reviewers, editors, readers and contributors."
Elsevier lays out AI policies for authors, reviewers, and editors. The policy affirms that AI should only be used to improve language and readability, but not to create work. AI cannot be cited as an author, usage must be disclosed, and using AI to create or alter images is generally prohibited. Reviewers and editors must treat manuscripts as confidential and therefore cannot upload them to AI tools.
