GenAI et al.: Cocreation, Authorship, Ownership, Academic Ethics and Integrity in a Time of Generative AI

Abstract

This paper investigates the complex interplay between generative artificial intelligence (AI) and human intellect in academic writing and publishing. It examines the 'organic versus synthetic' paradox, emphasizing the implications of using generative AI tools in educational and academic integrity contexts. The paper critiques the prevalent 'publish or perish' culture in academia, highlighting the need for systemic reevaluation due to generative AI's emerging role in academic writing and reporting. It delves into the legal and ethical challenges of authorship and ownership, especially in relation to copyright laws and AI-generated content. The paper discusses generative AI's diverse roles and advocates for transparent reporting to uphold academic integrity. Additionally, it calls for a broader examination of generative AI tools and stresses the need for new mechanisms to identify generative AI use and ensure adherence to academic integrity and ethics. The implications of generative AI are also explored, suggesting the need for innovative AI-inclusive strategies in academia. The paper concludes by emphasizing the significance of generative AI in various informationprocessing domains, highlighting the urgency to adapt and transform academic practices in an era of rapid generative AI-driven change.

Advancing Students’ Academic Excellence in Distance Education: Exploring the Potential of Generative AI Integration to Improve Academic Writing Skills

“…However, the cautionary note introduced by some markers, particularly regarding the risk of verbatim copying and the emphasis on the importance of interpretation (Fitria, 2023;Khabib, 2022), introduces a counterargument. This aligns with broader concerns raised in the literature about the potential drawbacks of generative AI, including the need for students to develop critical thinking and interpretation skills (Bozkurt, 2024;Zulfa et al, 2023). While markers express optimism regarding generative AI's role as an efficiency tool, their wary stance introduces a potential contradiction.…”

“…This recognition highlights the transformative nature of the discourse and acknowledges the dual facets of generative AI as both a potential challenge and an asset in the academic writing context. The human-AI collaboration framework, a pivotal aspect of this discussion, not only emphasises the need for trust in generative AI adoption but also aligns seamlessly with the persistent call from lecturers for responsible use (Bozkurt, 2024). It positions generative AI not as a mere quick fix but as an integral learning tool, a stance echoing the principles of SCT.…”

Tell Me Your Prompts and I Will Make Them True: The Alchemy of Prompt Engineering and Generative AI

“…While AI models are designed to avoid generating harmful outputs, they are not foolproof. Techniques like "reverse engineering" or "jailbreaking" (Liu et al, 2023c) can exploit model vulnerabilities, raising significant ethical concerns regarding the ethical and responsible use of generative AI (Ansari et al, 2023;Bozkurt, 2024;McGuire, 2023).…”

Against Artificial Education: Towards an Ethical Framework for Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use in Education

“…The arrival of generative 1 artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally different from prior technologies used in educational settings. Educators and researchers of online, blended, and inperson learning are still coming to grips with how to employ current AI technologies in the learning experience, let alone understanding the potential consequences that future and unknown developments in AI will produce (Bozkurt, 2024;Şenocak et al, 2024). Despite potential risks, AI may revolutionize previous models of teaching and learning and perhaps create opportunities to realize progressive educational goals.…”
