It’s been a pleasure to have worked on our generative AI policy for the OLH for over a year. It’s been a fascinating, complex, but rewarding process. Our policy focuses on acceptable and responsible AI use, unacceptable use, and the transparent declaration of substantial and known genAI use.

If APCs and subscriptions fuelled their huge profits, how will they justify similar margins under a non-APC model? (I guess, prestige...). Are these large commercial publishers attempting to co-opt diamond OA rhetoric through ‘non-APC pilots’ to neutralise criticism?
