Snoop-and-scoop poses a real threat to science in the AI age
The Financial Times argues that 'snoop-and-scoop' — the practice of monitoring others' research and rushing out competing AI-driven results first — now poses a genuine threat to science. In the AI age, large language models can mine public findings and generate rival papers within days, undermining the trust, sharing and credit on which open research depends, and potentially deterring scientists from publishing openly.
Why now: Growing use of AI to rapidly exploit and replicate others' research is raising fresh concerns about fairness and openness in science.
