““First, no LLM tool will be accepted as a credited author on a research paper. That is because any attribution of authorship carries with it accountability for the work, and AI tools cannot take such responsibility.““
NATURE Editorial
Leading science journal NATURE is introducing two guidelines for attributing material generated by a large language model (LLM). Treatments of AI-derived content has been split, both in practice and opinions of practice, for example, whether it is accurate, helpful, or unethical to attribute authorship.
As well as their first guideline shown above, NATURE says the use of AI tools should be documented elsewhere in the research, for example, in the methods, acknowledgements, or an “other appropriate section.”
