Abstract:

After the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022, the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that once seemed distant is now almost here. Currently, we are in an era where generative AI has become the norm, and welcoming the usage of Natural Language Processing (NLPs) into scientific writing causes panic among scientists, healthcare workers and researchers alike. While many researchers denounce the integration of AI systems, some understand that AI is here to stay and has its benefits. It helps decrease the time required to produce a paper while making organisation, formatting, corrections and summarisation smooth without mind-numbing efforts. While the benefits make research sound like an easy task, limitations such as falsification of data and the introduction of paper mills that produce huge amounts of fake research papers need to be controlled. There is an urgent need to set ethical guidelines and rules that can help reduce the ambiguity surrounding AI development and integration. This research article dives deeper into the advantages, disadvantages, and ethical considerations that accompany AI development. What should be our job as researchers in this moment of ambiguity is the question to ask.
