After Science updated its editorial policy to ban the use of text generated by AI tools in scientific papers, we wrote a letter to the Editor raising our concern about the decision made.
We argue that AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepL could help alleviate current linguistic disparities in academia and thus improve equity in science.
Read the letter here.
We are also pleased to see that, in response to our letter, Science now recognises potentially acceptable uses of AI tools for writing papers and may consider adjusting its policies in future.
