AI authorship debate: Transparency needed in writing, says Finkel

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Finkel argues that undisclosed AI authorship undermines the art of persuasion and the reader's right to know the origin of the content. He proposes "de minimis standards" for AI use, suggesting AI should assist with research and editing but not generate sentences or paragraphs, a stance universities and publications should adopt to maintain transparency and human authorship.
