Dr. Samuel A. Moore is a scholarly communication specialist at Cambridge University Library and a research associate at King’s College Cambridge. He specializes in critical approaches to information studies and the digital humanities. His research explores the ethics and politics of academic knowledge production and research communication, specifically on topics related to academic publishing, open research, and community governance.
Sam’s fellowship at Open Future will focus on governance strategies for the turn to generative AI in scholarly publishing and academic knowledge production, guided by the desire to generate actionable, collective-based forms of accountability that can be used in a range of situations. This work will look to the varied literature on the commons in order to introduce a democratic dimension to the development of scholarly AI and mitigate the potential harms of such technologies.
