Associate professor raises concerns about using ChatGPT in research publishing
Sam Logan, an editorial board member of the Journal of Motor Learning and Development, recently had a letter to the editor accepted by the journal. The letter raises awareness about ethical concerns surrounding ChatGPT use in research publishing.
Sam's letter outlines several key issues:
- Environmental impact of large language models
- Exploitative labor practices in AI development
- Potential for bias in AI-generated content
- Risks of plagiarism
- Questions of authorship
- Accuracy of AI-generated references
Sam believes these concerns merit careful consideration as generative AI tools become more prevalent in academic research and publishing.
Read Sam's letter, "Generative AI users beware: Ethical concerns of ChatGPT use in publishing research."
Sam will present and discuss his article at the Journal Club for the International Motor Development Research Consortium.
