  "abstract": "Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the publishing landscape, with tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT capable of generating authoritative-sounding manuscripts composed of fabricated content. In contrast, the widespread availability of large language models for text editing, such as Grammarly, has dramatically improved the readability of many scientific papers. Much AI use will likely go undetected by the casual reader, and preventing its use is both implausible and impractical. Still, the scientific publishing community needs guardrails on the use of AI to maintain scientific rigor, encourage transparent research, and ensure replicability, without stifling creativity. Given this juxtaposition, members of the Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (RAPM) editorial board convened an expert workgroup of editors, reviewers, scientists, clinicians, and AI experts in the field of anesthesiology to identify consensus recommendations about the use of AI in manuscripts submitted to RAPM.1 The accompanying infographic summarizes the recommendations for the use and reporting of AI during the editorial process, with a focus on the importance of clearly disclosing the use of AI. Authors can use AI, with a few specific restrictions, but must be transparent about their usage. The workgroup also identified recommendations regarding the use of AI by the editorial staff and reviewers. Consistent with our recommendations, we disclose that Grammarly (Grammarly, San Francisco, California, USA) was used on 30 June for editing of language and readability of this accompanying text.",
