Overview

Review outlines ethical and operational challenges of artificial intelligence in academia, highlighting the need for a tripartite governance framework.

Key Points

To evaluate the ethical implications, opportunities, and risks associated with integrating artificial intelligence into academic workflows and propose an actionable governance model.
Analyzed literature on adoption patterns and ethical concerns of conversational artificial intelligence tools across academic tasks including manuscript drafting, literature synthesis, and data analysis.
Developed a tripartite policy framework addressing ethical governance, human-AI collaboration, and equitable innovation.
Over 50% of surveyed researchers utilize artificial intelligence chatbots for administrative tasks and language editing, which enhances workflow speed but risks increasing cognitive dependency and reducing critical thinking.
Undisclosed artificial intelligence usage creates severe risks for peer review integrity, authorship accountability, algorithmic bias against Global South scholarship, and research participant privacy.
Effective mitigation requires mandatory disclosure standards, inclusive dataset curation, human oversight during interpretation, and updated liability frameworks across academic institutions.
