Using AI Tools to Prompt Knowledge Appropriately and Ethically in Higher Education

This chapter reviews the challenges of using AI tools among academics, who prompt knowledge all the time, supposedly in an ethical way, to give enough credit to the sources and ideas used and advance in different scientific fields at the same time. Most researchers at university tend to be meticulous about how to build arguments and discuss views in the subject matter. Meanwhile, with the emergence of Chatbots, research has become easier for researchers, specifically when Chabots can generate texts for scientific questions, mathematical equations and even philosophical issues. Hence, some researchers drag and drop large amounts of generated texts from different AI tools without acknowledging, or even giving enough credit to the real authors. In Algeria since the launch of the free version of ChatGPT 3.5, the number of ethical breaches in research misconduct almost doubled (28℅), and even the number of research produced increased by 10℅ in comparison to the previous years. Unfortunately, the research produced does not meet high-level standards as it is mostly published in local journals, which are not indexed in Scopus, Springer, and Elsevier. This has resulted in different challenges and new prospects for Algerian Higher Education institutions specifically at the level of ASJP (Algerian Scientific Journals Platform).
