New framework guides ethical LLM use in scientific research

A new paper proposes a framework for the ethical use of large language models (LLMs) in scientific research. The framework focuses on ensuring human control over verification and accountability, rather than solely on the extent of machine involvement. It introduces concepts like epistemic audit to track delegation, verification, and responsibility, aiming to maintain the legitimacy of knowledge claims derived from AI-assisted research. AI

IMPACT Provides a framework for researchers to maintain epistemic responsibility when using LLMs, ensuring accountability in scientific discovery.

    Ethical LLM-Assisted Research: A Framework for Responsible Delegation, Verification, and Epistemic Value

    arXiv:2608.23644v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are becoming routine instruments of scientific research, assisting with literature synthesis, hypothesis development, coding, and formal reasoning. Their use raises a central epistemic question: when par…
