CHATGPT LISTED AS AUTHOR ON RESEARCH PAPERS

Publishers and preprint servers contacted by Nature's news team agree that AIs such as ChatGPT do not fulfil the criteria for a study author, because they cannot take responsibility for the content and integrity of scientific papers. (Victor Tseng, the preprint's corresponding author and medical director of Ansible Health in Mountain View, California, did not respond to a request for comment.) An editorial2 in the journal Nurse Education in Practice this month credits the AI as a co-author, alongside Siobhan O'Connor, a health-technology researcher at the University of Manchester, UK. The board of the physical-sciences preprint server arXiv has had internal discussions and is beginning to converge on an approach to the use of generative AIs, says scientific director Steinn Sigurdsson, an astronomer at Pennsylvania State University in University Park.
