As AI Becomes Embedded in Research, Can Transparency and Academic Integrity Keep Pace?

In late 2022, when OpenAI made its generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model, ChatGPT, publicly available, the response of editors and instructors across research and academia was one of cautious optimism. Although they recognised the potential of AI in improving research efficiency, a major concern was how to ensure transparency about the extent and nature of AI assistance in research and whether the researcher using such assistance had complied with the principles of responsible research conduct.

Integrity: Our Shared Culture - Join the Conversation in Monterrey!

Registration is now open, and we are inviting the academic integrity community to help shape the conversation! Integrity is not something we build alone. It is strengthened when we learn from one another, share our experiences, challenge our thinking, and create meaningful connections across institutions, disciplines, communities, and cultures. That is the spirit behind the 2027 International Center for Academic Integrity Annual Conference theme: Integrity: Our Shared Culture.
