Bridging the Gap Between Potential and Practice

In a keynote address at 2pm on Thursday titled Capitalizing on AI for Smarter Publishing in the Frankfurt Studio (Foyer Hall 4.0 Room Europa), Josh Jarrett, Senior Vice President and General Manager of AI Growth for Wiley, will unveil findings from a comprehensive, new survey of nearly 5,000 researchers worldwide that reveals that while researchers have high expectations for AI, they also have ethical concerns and are calling on publishers to provide clear guidelines. By taking a future-facing approach and focusing on potential use cases for AI that span the entire research process, Wiley’s presentation will offer practical insights to assist researchers in navigating their choices for implementing AI. Jarrett will also discuss responsible AI development at Wiley to enhance productivity, innovation, and growth and the company’s vision for the future of AI in publishing.

Innovating for a Secure and Efficient Publishing Ecosystem

At the Fair, Wiley will also highlight the following initiatives aimed at promoting safe and productive use of AI in publishing:

  • Strategic Partnerships: Wiley AI Partnerships: A Co-Innovation Program, aimed to deliver AI advantages for researchers and practitioners, will launch at the Fair and additional partners are invited to join this effort to shape the future of AI in research. Interested organizations can learn more about the program at the 2pm keynote on Thursday.
  • A smarter and simpler publication experience: Wiley is leveraging AI to enhance Research Exchange, its comprehensive platform for submission, screening and peer review.

Additionally, Wiley will demonstrate the platform’s Screening module, featuring AI-powered Papermill Detection technology, at the Wiley booth, C18, Hall 4.0.
  • Educational Resources:
    • GenAI For Dummies will debut at the Frankfurt Book Fair. This guide, part of Wiley’s renowned ‘For Dummies’ series, provides essential knowledge on generative AI. It was also developed using an AI-augmented authoring process, reflecting Wiley’s ongoing efforts to explore the use of AI applications to enhance educational resources.
    • zyBooks, Wiley’s affordable and interactive STEM courseware, has added a new chapter to its Data Science Foundations courses, focusing on essential AI concepts like machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing.

  • New AI research journals: Wiley recently announced the expansion of its prestigious Advanced Portfolio, which includes peer-reviewed journals focusing on AI. Building on the success of Advanced Intelligent Systems, two new journals focused on AI, Advanced Intelligent Discovery and Advanced Robotics Research, are on track to launch by the end of 2024.

"As a trusted partner to thousands of organizations and a publisher to over a million authors, we’re committed to working across the community to redefine publishing for an AI-assisted future," said Jay Flynn, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Research & Learning at Wiley.
