Four years of one conversation: FSCI course syllabi, 2023 to 2026, and the ENVISAGE and PILOT keynote slides

This record gathers, as a single set, the materials of a four-year sequence of courses chaired by the author at the FORCE11 Scholarly Communication Institute (FSCI), together with the author's 2026 opening-plenary keynote slides. It contains five PDF/A files: the keynote slides 'From ethical vision to operational reality: the ENVISAGE and PILOT principles', and the four course syllabi, namely 'The role of AI ethics in scientific publications on open science platforms' (2023), 'Good governance for AI in scientific publications' (2024), 'Science writing in the age of AI' (2025), and 'Who's afraid of knowing?' (2026). Taken together they show the development of context, approach, and thought across four years, from the governance and policy register of 2023, through authorship and accountability in 2024 and scientific writing in 2025, to critical thinking, the reader, and the conditions of knowing in 2026, while pointing towards the work still to come. The set is the companion to the position paper 'Who's afraid of knowing? Critical thinking, disclosure, and the reader in AI-mediated open scholarship' (10.5281/zenodo.21985409). Each file carries the house AI statement as a clearly marked deposit-addendum page; the delivered content of each document is otherwise unaltered. AI, provenance, and assurance statement. A large language model was used, under the author's direction, for structuring, drafting, and language editing. All content, claims, citations, and conclusions were set and verified by the named author, who takes full responsibility for the work. AI was not used to generate citations, data, or normative conclusions. A GCPA-SIDCER community contribution, archived as delivered.
