Abstract

Incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT, in academic endeavors has attracted significant interest due to its ability to optimize procedures and enhance human capacities. ChatGPT serves as an informed partner, assisting researchers in doing literature reviews, generating ideas, and even composing scholarly articles. Nevertheless, this revolutionary technology gives rise to ethical considerations in scientific investigation, namely authorship, information-data privacy, and bias. The article thoroughly examines the advantages and disadvantages of using ChatGPT for academic purposes. The benefits are seen in its effectiveness in retrieving information, surpassing language obstacles, boosting the synthesis of literature, easing the production of ideas, and assisting in the outlining of manuscripts. On the other hand, the complicated nature of using ChatGPT in scholarly activities is emphasized by worries about scientific integrity, the possibility of spreading disinformation, excessive dependence, and security and privacy issues. Finding a middle ground between utilizing the advantages of ChatGPT and maintaining academic integrity is crucial. Analyzing the dynamics will be crucial in navigating the changing junction of AI and research activities.
