Abstract： Purposes  To analyze the legal, ethical, social issues involved in the works generated by artificial intelligence (AI) model (referred to as AI works), so as to promote the rational application of generative AI in the academic publishing. Methods  This study investigates and sorts out the literature of generative AI model at home and abroad, analyzes the responsibilities and risks of the responsible subjects of AI works, such as authors, AI model developers, and publishers, and initially puts forward coping strategies and future innovative publishing modes. Findings  AI cannot be the author of AI works. Most publishers believe that AI can be used in academic paper writing, but it is necessary to explain whether and how to use AI in the appropriate part of the text. AI works may have infringement of copyright and personal rights, ethical dilemmas, ethical conflicts, social injustice and so on. Publishers should bear corresponding social responsibilities, insist on manual verification and content review of AI works, and work with authors, AI model developers, regulatory authorities, etc. to promote the healthy development and rational application of generative AI. Conclusions  AI works will inevitably lead to the transformation of scientific research creation and publishing industry. Publishers must adhere to the manual review of AI works, and encourage original output, so as to promote the high-quality publication of scientific research achievements.
