We would like to inform you that an article, titled "Advancing transparent and ethical AI" has been published in Geoscientist, the magazine of the Geological Society of London, addressing concerns regarding the use of artificial intelligence in geosciences. The article is authored by Paul H. Cleverley (FGS, Geologist and Computer Scientist, and Visiting Professor of Information Science & Technology at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland), Silvia Peppoloni (President, International Association for Promoting Geoethics; Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Rome, Italy), Christopher 'Chuck' M. Bailey (Acting President, Geological Society of America; Chair, Department of Geology, William & Mary, Virginia, USA), and Simon Thompson (Chief Executive, Geological Society of London, UK).
... The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the geosciences continues at pace. There is much to be positive about, but with AI comes a responsibility to ensure these powerful emerging tools are accurate, safe, and adhere to scientific and ethical principles. Recent discussions have highlighted concerns around GeoGPT, a geoscience chatbot being developed by the Deep-time Digital Earth (DDE) project, which is recognised by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) (e.g. Cleverley, 2024; Stephenson et al., 2024a; Hawkins, 2024). While DDE are working to address some of these issues (Stephenson et al., 2024b), serious concerns around transparency, quality, ethics, state censorship, and safety remain – concerns that must be addressed if GeoGPT is to be endorsed by an international scientific non-governmental and non-political body...
