The Story in Brief
CSIR-NIScPR Director Geetha Vani Rayasam said on Monday that AI policies for research and publishing may need to be revised every few months as technology evolves rapidly. Speaking at PubliCon 2026, she said the old approach of making rules to last decades no longer works. She stressed that the key question is not whether to use AI, but how to use it responsibly while preserving human accountability. Rayasam called for mandatory disclosure of AI tools used in research, and warned that the 'publish or perish' culture fuels misconduct. She described the race between AI detection tools and evasion methods as a 'cat and mouse game'.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that AI is evolving too fast for any rule to stick is as lazy as the idea that fixed policies from a pre-AI era still work. The CSIR director is right: dynamic thinking is needed, not paralysis. But agility without accountability breeds chaos. The real test will be whether institutions like CSIR can draft guidelines that are both flexible and enforceable, without letting speed sacrifice research integrity. Will the next draft policy define disclosure standards clearly enough to stop the cat-and-mouse game with AI misuse?
