Les rapports “Policy Insights and Signals” scrutent l’horizon afin d’identifier et d’analyser les tendances émergentes et les signaux précurseurs susceptibles d’influer sur les orientations politiques futures en matière de libre accès et d’érudition ouverte et sociale. Ils ont tendance à mettre en évidence les changements dans la technologie, l’opinion et les sentiments du public, et/ou les changements réglementaires à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur du Canada. Ce rapport Insights and Signals est le premier d’une série qui se concentre sur l’évolution des discussions centrées sur l’intelligence artificielle (IA), en particulier l’IA générative (genAI) et les grands modèles de langage (LLM), et sur les implications qu’elles peuvent avoir pour l’accès libre et la recherche sociale ouverte.

Widespread debates about the future of artificial intelligence and the need for ethical frameworks and regulatory policies to mitigate potential harms, re-ignited in 2022 by OpenAI’s first release of generative artificial intelligence (AI) system ChatGPT, continue to receive attention by scholars and media alike. This Insights and Signals Report is apart of a series that will focus on evolving discussions centered around artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI (genAI) and large language models (LLMs), and the implications these may have for open access and open social scholarship. Items discussed in this report include a brief introduction to generative artificial intelligence; the artificial intelligence act passed in May 2024 by the Council of the European Union; the inclusion of artificial intelligence in Canada’s Digital Charter Implementation Act (2022); several responses to AI in Canada from scholars, journals, post-secondary institutions, scholarly associations and granting agencies, as well as some core concerns raised by these groups; and responses from INKE partners John Willinsky (Founder, Public Knowledge Project) and John Maxwell (Associate Professor of Publishing at Simon Fraser University). The report concludes with provocations to consider some discursive silences, such as perspectives on data mining as an extractive colonial practice, and Indigenous data sovereignty.
