The Other AI: The Role of Actual Intelligence In the Future of Scholarly Publishing

With artificial intelligence hailed as the game-changer in modern workflows, where does that leave us lowly humans? This interactive session is dedicated to exploring the aspects of our work that are uniquely human. As we navigate through the latest digital transformation, we'll delve into the critical roles we play, from the art of curation to the power of community building and supporting DEI needs. We'll discuss the irreplaceable human touch that brings creativity, empathy, and a deeper understanding to our work, qualities that AI, despite its prowess, is yet to master. Join us as we take a refreshing break from AI discussions, and instead, focus on the human core of our industry. For ONE session, we promise to NOT talk about AI but celebrate the essential human attributes that continue to make us indispensable in an increasingly automated world.

"Inflection Point: Setting the Course for the Future of Scholarly Communication" Huge growth in proposals and publications, a greater focus on researchers as both author and reader, evolving open access publishing models, and the urgent need for equity and inclusion are disrupting traditional publishing infrastructure and processes. In addition, the explosive capabilities of artificial intelligence will likely disrupt every facet of scholarly communication, but represent both opportunities and threats. We are at an inflection point—our decisions will determine both the value we deliver as an industry, as well as the values we reflect as a community.
