Description
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools like ChatGPT, Google Bard, and others have taken over the world of higher education in the past few months. Using GIA and AI-assisted tools in research affected various stakeholders such as universities, journals, publishers, funders, etc. Given that AI is incorporated into many regular tools we interact with in search engines, many people might have difficulty avoiding using AI. In this workshop, we will explore, among others, KAUST institutional policies and guidelines on the Use of AI in Research, international best practices, and journal and publishers' policies on using AI in academic writing and publications. This includes ethical considerations of generative AI, such as privacy concerns, bias, and authorship credit. In addition, local and international regulatory frameworks and AI governance will be discussed. Discussions will shed light on the current state of legislative measures, frameworks, and the essential task of understanding and mitigating the risks that GAI presents.
