I’m a speech to the faculty yesterday, Chancellor Martin made it very clear that he would not consider any agreements that violated the independence and academic freedom of WashU. This is absolutely the right decision.
WashU deserves praise for rejecting Trump's coercive 'compact'

The @orgscience.bsky.social AI taskforce released an editorial analyzing 6 yrs of AI use in submission/review data: AI-written papers are lower quality, nearly all rejected, and explain 42%⬆️ submits. We're seeing more rather than better research. Humans are reviewing machines & we're getting tired.
We hope this provides data and evidence to help us all understand how the process of creating, evaluating, and promoting great research must evolve. We are AI enthusiasts and heavy users, so believe that it can help us achieve better research. But incentives must change to reward better, not more.
