We embraced the changes by offering new features, creating shared infrastructure such as CrossRef, and allowing readers to access content as soon as possible, wherever possible.\u00a0 We launched new journals before Google launched its first search engine.\u00a0 We introduced new business models to accommodate the needs of funders, governments, corporations and the academy.\u00a0 We confronted new challenges as the cost and efficiency of making copies \u2013 lawfully and unlawfully &#8212; declined and as our users embraced preprints, mobile, social media, and demanded ever faster, ever more robust, tools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With the growth of artificial intelligence and generative AI, our industry faces a new moment of inflection, opportunity, threat and innovation.\u00a0<\/strong> Our content may not always be perfect, but it is the best available in terms of validation, quality markers, use of PIDs, consistency of formats, and other attributes. In contrast to materials found randomly on the web, this quality makes our books, journals and databases \u2013 especially as versions of record &#8212; highly sought after and indeed crucial for high-stakes application of AI.<\/p>\n<p>AI introduces noise into the system.\u00a0 It offers new paths to revenue and new ways to improve workflows and research outcomes, while challenging key assumptions underpinning subscription, rights based, and open access business models. Here, at the STM Frankfurt Conference, <strong>we will explore what is at stake as AI becomes a norm<\/strong>.\u00a0 We will investigate the <strong>importance of quality to AI<\/strong>. We will discuss <strong>what it means to be \u201cAI ready\u201d<\/strong> from the perspective of our users and our members.

Do we have the regulations, the regulators, and the understanding to engage with algorithmic interlocutors in ways that do not cause unintended harm? We seem to be headed towards a \u201cBladerunner\u201d future in which new technology rapidly alters society and human behavior in ways that are horrifying, violent, and unethical. The way to avoid dystopian outcomes with AI and other technologies is to build ethical, legal, and societal implications analysis into all of the processes of its development. Called ELSI, this approach is currently being implemented at DARPA to ensure that blue sky research and innovation is also <em>good<\/em> research. Initial results show that ELSI-sensitive research produces better, more useful, more reliable technology.
