行业讯息 | 特邀报道——人工智能作为读者、作者与审稿人:人类何为?

Editor’s note: Today’s guest post is from Steve Smith, founder of STEM Knowledge Partners and an independent consultant with over 25 years of experience in scholarly publishing, including leadership roles at Blackwell Publishers, John Wiley & Sons, Frontiers Media, and AIP Publishing.

At SSP’s New Directions Seminar, a panel examined how artificial intelligence is already active in the three core activities of scholarly communication: reading, writing, and reviewing. The premise was not whether AI should enter these spaces but which roles help, what guardrails are necessary, and where human responsibility must remain visible.

Jessica Miles of The Informed Frontier discussed the reader and discovery context. Josh Dahl from ScholarOne considered authorship and integrity. Chirag “Jay” Patel of Cactus Communications addressed peer review and workflow burden. A shared thread ran throughout: AI is simultaneously the largest challenge and the largest opportunity. The practical task is to reduce that paradox to governance and workflow choices that preserve trust.

编者按：本期特邀撰稿人史蒂夫·史密斯是STEM知识合作伙伴机构创始人，也是拥有逾25年学术出版经验的独立顾问。他曾担任布莱克维尔出版社、约翰·威利父子出版集团、前沿出版传媒集团与美国物理联合会出版社等机构的管理职务。

在SSP新方向研讨会上，专题小组探讨了人工智能如何已活跃于学术交流的三大核心环节：阅读、写作与评审。讨论前提并非AI是否该进入这些领域，而在于哪些角色需要辅助、何种防护措施不可或缺，以及哪些环节必须保留人类责任的可见性。

"前沿洞察"机构的杰西卡·迈尔斯剖析了读者与文献发现场景；"学者一号"的乔希·达尔审视了作者身份与学术诚信问题；"仙人掌通讯社"的奇拉格·"杰伊"·帕特尔则针对同行评审和工作流程负担提出见解。贯穿讨论的核心共识是：人工智能既是空前的挑战，也是绝佳的机遇。当下的实践要务，在于将这一矛盾转化为能够维护学术信任的治理机制和工作流程选择。
