AI at Wiley
At Wiley, we're harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to advance research, enhance learning, and create new value for our community of researchers, educators, and professionals. Our approach to AI strikes a balance between innovation and responsibility, ensuring that as we develop and deploy these powerful technologies, we remain committed to our core mission of advancing research and knowledge worldwide.
As with any new technology, we must be both visionary and vigilant, but only by being involved can we shape the AI ecosystem and maximize the opportunities it presents to accelerate the pace of innovation in research, learning, and publishing.
Our AI principles
Our approach to AI is guided by a comprehensive set of principles that prioritize safety and fairness, integrity and accountability, transparency, and human oversight. These principles guide our product development, partnership decisions, and implementation strategies, ensuring that AI acts as a tool to enhance, rather than replace, human expertise.
As authors adopt AI tools in the research and writing processes, we’re providing clear guidelines and answers to common questions to help book authors and researchers navigate this evolving landscape. Our guidelines address key considerations, including appropriate disclosure of AI usage, verification of outputs, and maintaining both author accountability and uniqueness of voice.
These practical resources help researchers and book authors leverage AI tools responsibly while preserving the integrity of scholarly communication and ensuring compliance with evolving best practices in academic publishing.
