Policy Insights and Signals Reports scan the horizon in order to identify and analyse emerging trends and early signals for their potential to impact future policy directions in open access and open, social scholarship. This Insights and Signals Report is the third in a series that has focused 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 an announcement from the Tri-Agency Presidents regarding an ad-hoc expert panel tasked with considering the use of genAI in the grant development and review process.
