In this episode of Sidecar Sync, Mallory Mejias welcomes Dr. Jessica Miles, founder of The Informed Frontier, former VP of Strategy and Investments at Holtzbrinck, and advisory board member for Johns Hopkins University Press, for a fascinating look at how AI is transforming publishing, research, and trusted content ecosystems. Jessica explains what happens when AI becomes a “reader” instead of just a writer or assistant, why associations and scientific societies may already be part of AI training pipelines, and how organizations should think about crawl-based access, bulk licensing, and runtime access as the emerging gold standard. The conversation also explores AI’s impact on research integrity, peer review, content metrics, and the irreplaceable role of human accountability in an AI-driven knowledge ecosystem.
