What is the risk that the wider adoption of GAI tools like ChatGPT will lead Senior Managers to focus on productivity and efficiency at the expense of scholarly engagement?

Loss of academic community

How might the widespread adoption and use of GAI tools lead to more isolated, individual academic pursuits?

Revolution or Status Quo

linda_acooper1 — 2024-03-11 10:43:24 UTC

Will GAI tools, like ChatGPT, serve as a catalyst for rethinking of academic norms and practices? Or is there a danger that they entrench existing power structures and inequalities in academia?

Integrity and Authorship

What are the ethical considerations around academic authorship, and integrity (for staff) that need to be addressed to maintain academic standards?

Academic Identities

As these tools potentially take over some aspects of academic work, how might this change the perception of what it means to be an academic and the value placed on human intellectual contribution versus AI-generated content?

What are your thoughts on anthropomorphising GAI tools? Do you think we could change this approach by changing the narrative and talk about "outputs" rather then it "responding"?

Researchers using GAI

I am not sure if you came across this. Check the first sentence of the introduction section. It is disappointing that this got through reviews.

It is unquestionable that the current use of GAI involves concerns about academic integrity, plagiarism, loss of creativity, and beyond that. Having said that, would we want to foster an academic environment wherein various LLMs, including GAI, are used more carefully and "ethically", or would we want to totally discourage its inlcusion?
