As a growing number of artificial intelligence (AI) offerings have been developed, many of which are systems and software for academic research and the composition of essays. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in research has revolutionized methodologies and outcomes across various disciplines. Several studies and users have indicated both the convenience and the difficulty of using these AI tools effectively. Potential risks are also a key concern for stakeholders. This shift brings forth several ethical considerations that require careful examination. This presentation aims to address the potential applications of AI technologies in research, exploring reliable AI-enabled tools and six core academic domains that can be improved by these technologies.
