Much Ado About Authorship: Research Integrity & AI Systems

Webinar

Scope

What counts as authorship when AI assists—or drafts—content? We’ll dig into disclosure practices, tools and workflows for detecting machine-generated text and images, handling hallucinations and manipulated content, and editorial policies that safeguard trust while keeping reviews efficient.

Confirmed Speakers include Kari Weaver, Program Manager, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, OCUL and Learning, Teaching, and Instructional Design Librarian, University of Waterloo, and Mark McBride, Senior Director, Ithaka S+R. The session moderator is Heather Sardis, Associate Director for Technology and Strategic Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Libraries.

Additional Information

NISO assumes organizations register as a group. The model assumes that an unlimited number of staff will be watching the live broadcast in a single location, but also includes access to an archived recording of the event for those who may have timing conflicts. 

Educational program contacts and registrants receive sign-on instructions via email three business days prior to the virtual event. If you have not received your instructions by the day before an event, please contact NISO headquarters for assistance via email (nisohq@niso.org). 

Registrants for an event may cancel participation and receive a refund (less $30.00) if the notice of cancellation is received at NISO HQ (nisohq@niso.org) one full week prior to the event date. If received less than 7 days before, no refund will be provided. 

Links to the archived recording of the broadcast are distributed to registrants 24-48 business hours following the close of the live event. Access to that recording is intended for internal use of fellow staff at the registrant’s organization or institution. Shared resources are posted to the NISO event page.

All events follow the NISO Code of Conduct. More information can be found here.

Broadcast Platform

NISO uses the Zoom platform for the purpose of broadcasting our live events. Zoom provides apps for a variety of computing devices (tablets, laptops, etc.) To view the broadcast, you will need a device that supports the Zoom app. Attendees may also choose to listen just to audio on their phones. Sign-on credentials include the necessary dial-in numbers, if that is your preference. Once notified of their availability, recordings may be viewed from the Zoom platform.
