Authorship in the AI Age

The blog discusses authorship issues arising in the age of AI, particularly in the context of the Erdős Unit Distance Problem paper attributed to OpenAI. It explores the implications of AI contributions in scholarly work, citing COPE guidelines on human authorship, and raises questions about future authorship in collaborative efforts between humans and AI tools. Thought experiments are proposed to examine the moral and ethical dimensions of authorship when AI plays a significant role in the research process.
