The STM (International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers) is excited to announce its Annual Conference in Frankfurt, set for October 2024. This highly anticipated event, which sold out last year, will coincide with the Frankfurt Book Fair, offering a unique opportunity for networking, collaboration, and in-depth discussions on a topic of paramount importance: Advancing Trusted Research in the AI Era.
The conference will kick off with a networking dinner, providing an informal setting for attendees to connect before diving into a full day of sessions. The program, carefully crafted by the STM committee, will address the significant challenges and opportunities posed by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI in the research and publishing industry.
As the world moves further into the digital age, the publishing industry faces a critical moment of transformation, similar to the shift from print to digital that STM members experienced in the past. AI, while offering new revenue streams and ways to enhance research outcomes, also presents challenges that threaten traditional business models and the integrity of content. The conference will explore these challenges and the role of quality, validated research in an AI-driven world.
Key topics will include the implications of AI for subscription-based, rights-based, and open-access models, the importance of maintaining quality in the face of AI-generated content, and the steps needed to ensure that the industry is "AI-ready" from the perspective of both publishers and users. Attendees will also engage in debates on policy and copyright issues, exploring the balance between protecting valuable content and adapting to a rapidly evolving market.
The STM Frankfurt Conference promises to be a pivotal event for anyone involved in the scientific, technical, and medical publishing sectors, offering insights into how the industry can navigate and thrive in the era of AI.
