Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a product of scientific and technological advancements. This invention allows machines or computer systems to perform tasks that call for cognitive abilities similar to those of humans. Given its intelligence, artificial intelligence (AI) finds use in a variety of human endeavours, including academia, especially in the field of research. This chapter emphasizes how important AI is to researchers conducting contemporary research. The chapter makes the case that applying AI to research practice has drawbacks. It stressed, nevertheless, that in order to guarantee that the technology is used in an ethical manner, its use should be restricted and governed by institutionally established guidelines. In its conclusion, the paper reaffirmed the important role that academic gatekeepers play in preventing the erosion of ethical considerations in research. As a result, it was suggested that research manuscripts be examined for AI. This paper will address a number of advantages and difficulties associated with the use of AI in research, emphasizing how it has the revolutionary potential to change future research domain inquiry and innovation. Keywords: ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, research, technology, researchers, modern research practices, and the ethical and unethical use of AI.
