The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Academic Writing: Case of Tlemcen Science PhD Students

Abstract

This research work is a description of the impact of Artificial Intelligence on Academic Writing in the case of PhD science students. Two objectives were set including identifying the potential benefits of Artificial Intelligence in the students’ academic writing and the ethical issues that may arise. To attain these objectives, the researcher used a mixed-method approach that consisted of a questionnaire for students and a structured interview conducted with teachers. After analyzing the data, Artificial Intelligence proved to be helpful with grammar, spelling, accuracy, and methodology. Oppositely, it raised ethical concerns about unintentional plagiarism, unreliable data, inexistent resources, and lack of validity. These results were relied on to suggest recommendations that can address these issues
