"Uncritical AI use risks amplifying fluency at the expense of accuracy. In contrast, if AI is constrained to the role of translator, auditor, or compliance tool, it can instead reduce inequitable cognitive burden without compromising scientific judgment."

Update. Alan Colin-Arce has written an excellent slide deck on multilingual publishing in the humanities and social sciences.

Update. "Many [non-native writers of English] cannot confidently judge whether their original expression is better than the AI's suggestion. Some do not even suspect that their original phrasing might carry nuance worth preserving…Thus, AI does not affect all writers equally. Native speakers tend to use AI to clarify their writing while preserving their voice. Non-native speakers often use AI in a fundamentally different way: their voice is replaced by a standardized, fluent, but impersonal tone. In many cases, they do not even notice that this has happened. This difference is unfair, yet largely invisible."

Update. For scholars with English as a second language, "#AI tools are described…not as shortcuts, but as equalizers. They reduce time-to-submission, lower financial burdens, and allow researchers to focus on ideas rather than articulation. For early-career scholars and those in resource-limited institutions, AI-based language assistance often replaces services that were previously inaccessible or prohibitively expensive. Yet they are not sure if the way they are using AI is permissible."
