Dignity of Science and the use of ChatGPT as a co-author

Abstract

We would like to express our gratitude for the comments on our article entitled ‘Dignity of science and the use of ChatGPT as a co-author’.1Scimeca M. Bonfiglio R. Dignity of science and the use of ChatGPT as a co-author.ESMO Open. 2023; 8101607Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1) Google Scholar In this comment, Kleebayoon and Wiwanitkit2Kleebayoon V.A. Wiwanitkit V. Use of ChatGPT as a co-author.ESMO Open. 2023; : 8101620Google Scholar provide insights into the ethical implications of using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly in neurointerventional surgery. We fully concur with the call to halt the immediate use of ChatGPT in biomedical research, allowing for a comprehensive discussion on the ethical implications involved. As researchers, it is our duty to embrace technological advancements while upholding the integrity of science and promoting human welfare. We believe the next step should involve engaging in thorough and ongoing discussions within the scientific community about the ethical aspects of employing AI. Clearly defining behavioral codes that prioritize transparency, inclusion, accountability, impartiality, reliability, security, and privacy when using AI in scientific research is essential. Providing explicit norms and criteria will enable researchers to make ethical decisions and ensure the dignity of both researchers and AI systems. Moreover, establishing robust governance and supervision mechanisms for developing and accepting AI-generated content is imperative. Reviewing AI-generated sensitive content by human experts can help maintain a balanced approach, safeguarding patients from receiving false or misleading information. To address the ethical challenges posed by AI developments, interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists, clinicians, philosophers, and ethicists is crucial. This collaboration will aid in devising frameworks and policies that promote ethical AI use in research while safeguarding human dignity. Investing in education and support for researchers in navigating ethical issues related to AI is equally important, ensuring that researchers have the necessary knowledge and resources to make informed decisions when employing AI tools. We hope that our collective efforts will lead to the responsible and ethical integration of AI technologies in biomedical research, advancing scientific knowledge while preserving the dignity and integrity of the scientific community. Lastly, we conclude with Pope Francis’ invitation to the scientific community regarding the use of AI technologies, which was expressed during the ‘Dialogues of Minerva’ meeting in 2020. He said, “I would therefore encourage you, in your deliberations, to make the intrinsic dignity of every man and woman the key criterion in evaluating emerging technologies; these will prove ethically sound to the extent that they help respect that dignity and increase its expression at every level of human life.”3Lubov D.C.
