Hi Folks, I'm happy to announce that I was promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure by Texas A&M University. If you would like to hear what I am up to these days, please follow me at bluesky 🦋 @casonschmit.bsky.social

@CasonSchmit speaks about the new editorial in @AMJPublicHealth which calls for increased transparency in legal research through the development of a new @EQUATORNetwork standard. Read more: phlr.temple.edu/learn-legal-ep…

Better policies require better reporting of policy evaluation research. See our new commentary in the American Journal of Public Health @AMJPublicHealth ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJ…

Thrilled and excited to join the Texas A&M Institute for Healthcare Access! Let's get to work!

@JanProbst I really appreciate when peer reviewers do that!

I suspect that I just got my first AI-generated peer review for a submitted research paper. Difficult to know for sure.

Peer review is an important process that improves the quality of published research. I don't think AI is ready to take over that process yet.

My guess is that an AI-generated response was used as a starting point, and the reviewer made revisions. But, I asked an #LLM to review my paper and got some similar results.

Last but not least, close out your #APHA2023 experience on 11/15 in GWCC B305 at 10:30-12pm ET to hear innovative public health law ideas (5096) from @CasonSchmit, Gregory Miao & Wesley Hartman @ChangeLabWorks, Shannan Young @GeorgiaStateLaw & @sbrynaustin bit.ly/49qyAeE

Biden's AI executive order seeks to regulate, without stifling innovation @CasonSchmit texasstandard.org/stories/biden-…

As AI evolves faster than traditional legislation can keep up with, there's a need for adaptable standards that can both encourage beneficial use & mitigate risks. The concept of copyleft licensing, emerges as a potential solution. @CasonSchmit @DNAlawyer buff.ly/3YQtvrd

UPDATE: Just informed that it was a hoax "swatting" call...

Active shooter reports on the Bryan TAMU campus. #Shaken

Another worrying lesson from my classroom experiments w/ #AI: I had a student submit a paper that cited an AI chat bot #ChatGPT (which I allowed, if cited), but the new #AIDetection tool in #turnitin read 0%.

I asked my students if I should do it again for future classes. Surprisingly, they said "yes." They thought it was valuable to gain a healthy skepticism and realistic expectations for #AI generated content. A lesson for the world. #ChatGPT 7/7

I am a bit perplexed on how it #ChatGPT missed so hard, when these case briefs are so easy to #Google. But I am more concerned that it just made things up and presented them as facts. 6/7

I experimented w/ #ChatGPT in my class assignments. It was a disaster. The #AI bot straight up made things up and produced fictitious content. Despite their frustration, my students recommended that I do it again (😲🤔) for future classes to instill a healthy skepticism of AI 1/7
