The distribution of preprints in the world of academic research has traditionally served as a way to disseminate research before it makes its way through the traditional publishing channel of peer reviewed journals.

SSRN, an online preprint service and database for research reports, describes its "Generative AI Special Topic Hub" as follows:

"SSRN’s Generative AI Special Topic Hub provides a curated view into new early-stage research addressing generative artificial intelligence (AI), its potential applications in fields as varied as search technology, law, finance, and education, and evolving conversations around the ethical use of these technologies."

A special interest of mine is the use of generative AI tools for ethically supporting development of proposals and other publishable content, so I will be scanning this service from time to time to see “what’s new.”

The following is a small sampling of recently announced titles which vary widely in length and technical focus:

States Legislating Against Digital Deception: A Comparative Study of Laws to Mitigate Deepfake Risks in American Political Advertisements (Hayden Goldberg, University of Oxford - Oxford Internet Institute)
Possibilities of Gen AI in the Development of the Design of Central Bank Cash. Paper for the Central Bank AI Conference, held as part of Payments, Innovation and Technology Week, organized by Currency Research (Andrei Lipkin, Noll Historical Consulting, LLC)

Scholarly Communications and the Social Media Genie

Marketing, customer communications, and inside-the-firewall collaboration are not the only processes subject to "disruption" by social media and social networking. The worlds of research, scholarly communication, librarianship, and publishing are also being impacted, and not just by Google.
