What impact does artificial intelligence have on (open) science?

The development of generative artificial intelligence is profoundly changing our relationship with the production and dissemination of knowledge. These technologies challenge the ability of research to produce reliable content, to organize its validation, and to disseminate it openly and freely to the widest possible audience. How can we understand the tensions surrounding the development of generative AI? Do we need to rethink how we make science accessible in the age of artificial intelligence? How should we respond to these profound changes in our practices of reading, writing, and disseminating research?
