A vital and informative blog post on what the US’s withdrawal from UNESCO means for open science
🌎 What does the withdrawal of the US from UNESCO mean for Open Science and Open Science infrastructure? While much is still unclear, @loubezuidenhout.bsky.social and Jon Verriet from @unesconl.bsky.social argue that the implications could be profound.

What does it mean to use #genAI "responsibly" in research? In this post, @petertarras.bsky.social & I respond to a taxonomy which equates disclosure of use with transparency & responsibility. We object to this & call for more conversations about how & why it's used, who is harmed, & who benefits.
Andrea Reyes Elizondo @altibel.bsky.social and I have responded to a blog, recently published on @leidenmadtrics.bsky.social, which argued that using AI responsibly in research means being transparent about it. We object that supposed transparency obscures more fundamental ethical questions.
