To the DOE Office of Science AI Team:
STM, the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers, welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Department of Energy’s Request for Information (RFI) on Partnerships for Transformational Artificial Intelligence Models (DE‑ASCR‑26‑0001). STM and its members are both intensive users and developers of advanced AI tools, and they are also primary providers and stewards of high‑quality scientific and technical content that underpins trustworthy AI systems and the broader U.S. research enterprise.
STM’s interest and overarching perspective
STM represents a global community of scholarly and professional publishers who invest in editorial processes, peer review, integrity checks, metadata standards, and long‑term curation to ensure that scientific and technical information is accurate, traceable, and reusable. STM strongly supports the Administration’s focus on building American AI infrastructure and scientific leadership, as reflected in Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan, and believes that regulatory and partnership frameworks should remove unnecessary friction while preserving the policy foundations—copyright, licensing, transparency, and integrity safeguards—that have long enabled U.S. leadership in science and innovation.
