PLOS CEO Alison Mudditt makes a compelling strategic argument: the AI era doesn't just use open access content — it depends on the trustworthiness signals that good OA practice produces (open data, rich metadata, transparent retraction workflows). This reframes OA not as idealism but as infrastructure for AI reliability. High relevance to p2preview's editorial mission. Strong opinion piece from a major OA publisher executive.
