What Impact Does Artificial Intelligence Have on (Open) Science?

The development of generative artificial intelligence is profoundly changing our relationship to 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 as many people as possible. 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 the way we read, write, and disseminate research?
