Springer Nature, strong publisher of scientific magazines including prestigious nature As well as the magazine, which is approximately 200 years old American scientificHe approaches the authors of the papers in their magazines with “media groups” that have been created from artificial intelligence to summarize and promote their research.
In an email to the authors of the magazines obtained by FutureSpringer told scientists that its artificial intelligence tool “will increase the effect” of their research, saying that a $ 49 package will return “high -quality outputs” for marketing and communications purposes. The sale of the publisher of the package depends on the argument that complex research full of terminology in the digestible data for press data and the social media version can be difficult and take a long time-which makes it, a task that deserves automation.
“We know how important it is clear and effectively to communicate your research to both your peers and the broader audience, but it can be boring and intense time to create brief and effective texts for different masses,” says email. “For this reason we are excited to introduce our new media collection designed to help you expand your business access.”
According to e -mail, the package includes approximately 250 words “normal language” designer “designer” to simplify “research for the public; Nearly 300 words “research summary” provides “summary” summary of academic and scientific peers; A short audio summary of artificial intelligence; The social media version is characterized as “ready -to -use content” to enhance work “via platforms.
The publisher adds, the content will be created using the Springer Springer tool.
There is a large hunting, though: it is not always possible to trust the outputs of the “high -quality tool”. On the accompanying website connected to the email, Springer warns of “even the best artificial intelligence tools make mistakes” and urges the authors to review artificial intelligence hard‘s Outputs and issuance of corrections as needed for accuracy and clarity.
“Before additional use,” reads the web page, “Review the content carefully and modify it as it deems appropriate, and thus the final output picks up the nuances in your research that you want to highlight.”
Simon Haman, a food chemist at Hheenheim University, Germany and the author of Springer, who received an email, described the Media Ai package as cash constipation.
“I find it ridiculous,” he said Future. “It jumps on the artificial intelligence vehicle, where we throw artificial intelligence in anything, useful or not. I am more disturbing than the price.”
“I did not think that there was anything left for publishers to achieve income (after obtaining the authors for financing, doing the research, writing the paper, doing the look of the peacocks, and correcting the page’s guides for free while they are investigating all the profits), but here I stand a correction,” continued, adding The promised “research summary” of the package is basically the summary that you usually write. “
Haman added that the researchers may be “leaving” wondering “what they actually pay, if the publisher does not see even promoting their outputs as their work, but their hands to the researchers as well.”
To this end – with the exception of the audio summary, at least – it is not clear what the 49 -dollar Springer package is offered to the authors that artificial intelligence tools are cheaper or free like Openai’s Chatgpt or Google Gemini Models cannot.
“In Nature Springer, we understand how important researchers are to be able to connect their research to different fans-colleagues and financiers to policymakers and public. This multimedia content package offers high-quality and artificial intelligence generators. Participants have been developed to help do so.” The company said in response to questions about this story. “The content is created using a safe AI tool support.
“No male is kept, stored, or used for training,” continued. “The content package is only created when the original author requests to publish and can be reviewed and edited by the original author, ensuring that the person is always in the episode.”
Springer has made many invasions in artificial intelligence. The publisher announced last year that it will embrace artificial intelligence as a tool to pay its business – science, and claim it – forward, Announcement on its website “Nature Springer is committed to canceling the capabilities of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to enhance the scientific discovery and innovation.”
This apparent commitment appears to be formed now. Earlier this week, for example, the huge publishing board Declared in a press statement A “AI Driving tool” made to automate “editorial quality verification” and notify the editors of “manuscripts that are likely to be inappropriate. The advertisement adds that the manuscripts may be kept from the peer review if the artificial intelligence tool.
At the same time, amid a broader field of scientific publishers who are struggling with a tight attack from fake studies that are created from artificial intelligence that is presented for the vision of the peer, Springer tries to preserve the inputs of artificial intelligence tools “designed to detect language and suspicious images (although Springer He claimed in a press statement Last year, both the tool proved its effectiveness in the experimental test, the tools of detecting artificial intelligence unreliable in a well -known way.)
In other words, Springer’s embrace of artificial intelligence was already sorcery. On the one hand, it provides fees for researchers on automated social copies and trying to use artificial intelligence to accelerate the review process. On the other hand, it publishes artificial intelligence systems Reveal Unauthorized use of artificial intelligence by authors.
Meanwhile, Haman pointed out that the 49 -dollar intelligence publisher of artificial intelligence is just one of the ways that Springer is preparing to help scientists promote their work – for a few additional dough.
“With pleasure, I send me Springer Netchter electronically with the chance of getting a poster of 82 x 52 cm for my publisher,” Haman recalls. “Only $ 89.”
