The AI Act represents a significant step toward regulating AI technologies across diverse sectors, with the dual aims of ensuring safety and safeguarding fundamental rights. However, as there are multiple uncertainties in the enforcement of the Act, it should be interpreted as a framework for learning.
Researchers are increasingly required to evaluate how AI use in conducting, communicating, and evaluating research aligns with core values of reliability, honesty, respect, and accountability. There is an urgent need to accelerate policy and best practice development in addressing challenges regarding the responsible use of AI in research.
