AI-Assisted Tool for Academic Writing - Supporting Researchers in Sharing Knowledge

1:45 PM - 2:00 PM

As part of an innovative experiment we brought together authors, editors and experts form across Springer Nature to create a whole new academic book by empowering authors to use GPT as part of an integrated workflow. The German-language book Einsatzmöglichkeiten von GPT in Finance, Compliance und Audit (Applications of GPT in finance, compliance and audit) has been published faster than a regular book by using generative AI tools helping authors save time when writing their manuscripts and making their knowledge available more quickly, while maintaining a high level of quality. It also showed that the technology can lower barriers for people who, for various reasons, find it difficult to write and would not be able to author a book without assistance. However, it became clear that authors with their expertise and high-quality editing continue to play an essential role in ensuring high quality content.

This session gives insights into the facilitation of the experiment, showcases further developments and results, and offers insights into both current and future utilization of the transformative power of generative AI to support researchers in sharing their knowledge.
