Jeff Macher on Generative AI and the Future of Global Researc
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
In our latest Two Think Minimum podcast, TPI’s Scott Wallsten talks with Jeffrey Macher, Professor at Georgetown University, about new research on how generative AI is changing scientific publishing around the world. Macher discusses evidence that large language models are being adopted most rapidly by researchers in countries that are linguistically distant from English-speaking nations, and that the language of those papers is increasingly converging with the style of U.S.-based scientific publications. The conversation explores how this shift may expand global participation in research, intensify competition for journal space, and potentially influence long-run innovation and U.S. competitiveness, while also raising questions about how researchers, reviewers, and journals will adapt as AI tools become ubiquitous.
