Friends:
Yesterday's Scholarly Kitchen blog carried an opinion by Roy Kaufman entitled,"Swimming in the AI Data Lake: Why Disclosure and Versions of Record Are More Important than Ever."
Kaufman points out that AI services such as Chat GPT are only as good as the materials they are trained on. If an application is ctitical, it is important to train the program on the most reliable sources ("versions of record").
Dear Fellow Early Americanists,
The Adams Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society and the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore at American University have published their first-ever joint blog entry! Neal Millikan shares what John Quincy Adams had to say in his diary about Fillmore, and I look at what Fillmore and his correspondents wrote about (and to) Adams.
Your network editor has reposted this from H-Announce. The byline reflects the original authorship.
The proliferation of AI tools and capabilities has forced academic publishers to take a stance on how these researchers can use these tools in the research writing context. Avi Staiman, founder and CEO of Academic Language Experts, explores the use of AI tools by authors and pushes publishers to further clarify how and when these tools can be used.
Read on Scholarly Kitchen now.
Sincerely,
