Artificial intelligence and editorial process in CSP

Abstract

Throughout history, technological advances have always been followed by uncertainties, as occurred during the Industrial Revolution with the emergence of machines in the late 18th century and in computing with the development of the 86-DOS system in the 1980s.In Art, the development of photography in the 19th century inspired painters such as Monet and Renoir to create Impressionism, incorporating new creative elements 1 .While the human ability to imagine and create is essential, innovations often raise concerns about the potential for replacing human cognition.More than 70 years have passed since the emergence of the first computers, and the technology surrounding them has advanced by leaps and bounds.With the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), new fields and sub-areas have gained prominence, especially from November 2022, when generative AI platforms, including large language models (LLMs) such as the popular ChatGPT, have become widely used.In this editorial, we do not intend defend the use of LLMs, but we cannot ignore the impact of these technologies in the current scenario, especially regarding their relation with the editorial process and the universe of scientific publications.Historically, a variety of AI tools have been used by authors and journals to improve writing, correct spelling and grammar issues, generate images, detect plagiarism, and translate texts, as is the case with Google Translate, Grammarly, Hemingway Editor, Jasper AI, among others 2 .With the increasing expansion of these platforms, especially among authors, it is up to us, editors and the publishing market, to reflect on the responsible use of these tools, aiming to optimize the scientific publication process 3 .After all, the problem does not lie in the technology itself, but in the way it is used 1 .Cadernos de Sade Pblica (CSP) recognizes the need to keep up with the new technological context and contribute to the debate and regulation of the use of AI in the publishing process.We know that ChatGPT is being widely used as an auxiliary tool for academic writing.In this context, our goal is to understand and guide the use of these resources in a transparent and ethical manner, both by authors and by reviewers and editors.
