Insights Xchange: Conversations Shaping Academic Research
Human-AI Collaboration in Editorial Workflows: A Framework for Responsible Innovation
AI is rapidly changing the landscape of scholarly publishing—from detecting image manipulation and plagiarism to assisting with reviewer matching and assessing statistical rigor. But as these tools become more embedded in editorial workflows, they also raise serious questions around bias, transparency, and ethical oversight.
In this episode, Dr. Chhavi Chauhan—a scientist, ethicist, and global voice in responsible AI—joins host Nikesh Gosalia to unpack the complex relationship between humans and algorithms in research publishing. They explore the benefits of AI-powered tools, the critical gaps they can’t yet fill, and what a truly responsible “human + AI” model could look like. The conversation also touches on inclusivity, evolving peer review practices, and how editorial teams can thoughtfully embrace innovation without compromising integrity.
Whether you’re an editor, researcher, or simply curious about the future of academic publishing, this episode offers practical insights and a much-needed ethical lens on AI’s role in science.
