AI can change how we do science.
Not what makes it trustworthy.
The Verona Declaration on the Use of Generative AI in Computing Research is taking shape. Researchers across the computing community are developing shared principles for using generative AI while preserving scientific integrity, independent judgment, and accountability.
Researchers may delegate tasks to AI systems.
They cannot delegate scientific responsibility.
The questions behind the declaration
What makes research credible?
When convincing results are easy to generate, evidence, verification, and scientific integrity matter more than ever.
What can we responsibly delegate?
AI can accelerate discovery. Researchers must still understand, evaluate, and stand behind consequential scientific work.
Who shapes the rules?
The computing community builds these systems and uses them. It has a special responsibility to help shape responsible research practice.
What happens next
Not a finished statement.
A conversation worth joining.
The declaration is intended to be living, open to criticism, and published in stable, citable versions. A public draft and ways to contribute will be made available here. Check back for the opening of community consultation.
