Open consultation on EU strategy for AI in science

The EU Commission is seeking input on how to accelerate the uptake of AI in science—encouraging more researchers to use it as a tool while carefully managing its impact on the scientific process. The strategy will lay the groundwork for a European AI Research Council, envisioned as a “Resource for AI Science in Europe” (RAISE), aimed at pooling resources to support scientists developing and applying AI across the EU, and advancing AI in and through science.

Both a call for evidence and a questionnaire are open for feedback until 5 June. This consultation presents a valuable opportunity for academic publishers to highlight the specific needs, opportunities, and safeguards required for AI in the publishing process.

STM will prepare a submission.
