The release of ChatGPT has generated considerable attention to generative AI. Those involved with scholarly publishing must be vigilant in understanding and managing AI technological developments that impact their work.

How will publishers maintain the integrity of the scholarly record? Manage and weed out non-existent articles? Detect research faked by sophisticated AIs? Adopt and implement policies that address AI?

Join us for presentations and conversation on how JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) is evaluating generative AI. JAMA’s Editor in Chief and Executive Managing Editor will share their experiences about what they have been seeing in the editorial process and the new policies developed around use of large language models (LLMs) in manuscript development and peer review. In addition, hear a preliminary view of generative AI from a member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Compliance and Internal Audit department.

Bring your questions about this growing issue as there will be time for attendees to participate in an interactive Q&A.
