Speaker
Description
The era of AI represents a paradigm shift in research writing, prompting a rethinking of pedagogies, methods, and views. This presentation delves into the rapidly expanding environment of AI tools for research, which is challenging traditional conceptions of knowledge sharing. As the pace of "Knowledge Doubling" accelerates, scholars face the challenge of distinguishing between human-authored information and AI-generated material, provoking contemplation on the changing role of technology in academia. While AI technologies are extremely useful in improving grammar and structure, they cannot replace the nuanced skills and critical thinking required for scholarly writing. Furthermore, ethical concerns loom big, as relying on AI risks reducing students' autonomy and evaluative abilities. As the educational landscape transforms, the discourse expands to contemplate alternative dissertation formats and pedagogical approaches that reconcile AI's utility with academic integrity. Ultimately, this discourse underscores the imperative for scholars to navigate the creative tension between automation and originality, anticipating and mitigating the long-term implications of AI on scholarly communication and equitable access to research tools.
