(13 Mar 2025) Wiley released a set of guidelines on the responsible and effective use of artificial intelligence (AI) in authorship this week at the London Book Fair. In the new guidelines and accompanying FAQs, Wiley provides suggestions to authors on how to utilize AI tools in their manuscript preparation while preserving the author’s authentic voice and expertise, maintaining reliable, trusted, and accurate content, safeguarding intellectual property and privacy, and meeting ethics and integrity best practices.
The guidelines respond directly to broad demand for publisher guidance in utilizing AI, requested by around 70% of researchers in Wiley’s recent ExplanAItions study, and were informed by extensive interviews with authors, editorial staff and AI experts.
Wiley’s AI guidelines provide insights for authorship based on needs identified through interviews with nonfiction, academic and business book authors. They are accompanied by FAQs that address the following:
- Where to start for those new to AI, including development of effective prompts;
- How to compare and analyze different AI tools, including for accuracy, privacy, and intellectual property; and
- How to track and disclose AI usage in published works.
