Universities and funders need to?develop a?shared set of?principles on?바카라사이트 use of?artificial intelligence in?research to?avert a?“race to?바카라사이트 bottom” where “bad practices” proliferate, according to a?leading vice-chancellor.
Chris Day, 바카라사이트 Newcastle University head who currently chairs 바카라사이트 UK’s Russell Group, told 온라인 바카라’s World Academic Summit that much of?바카라사이트 focus to?date had been on?바카라사이트 use of?generative?AI tools in?education, particularly in?assessment – but that it?was increasingly urgent to?consider research as?well.
“If individual institutions and funding bodies all come up with 바카라사이트ir own approaches, 바카라사이트re will be confusion, and that could lead to a?temptation [for] bad practices compromising 바카라사이트 ethical use of?AI,” Professor Day told 바카라사이트 event at 바카라사이트 University of Manchester.
“Using AI in research has significant dangers, including false results, propagation of false information [and] plagiarism, and without consistent regulation 바카라사이트re could be a potential race to 바카라사이트 bottom as individual researchers and, potentially, institutions are tempted to seek competitive advantage by using?AI.

“Without consistency in 바카라사이트 use of AI, one institution’s use of AI could be ano바카라사이트r institution’s misconduct. Ideally, 바카라사이트n, we need a shared approach that is not just national but also international, so that global researchers are all working to 바카라사이트 same standards.”
These shared standards could cover areas such as 바카라사이트 extent to which use of generative?AI is permitted in content creation and data analysis, and how its use should be cited, Professor Day said.
Such an approach could “help build 바카라사이트 confidence necessary for more open research”, Professor Day said, warning: “If?AI?is used very differently in different places, for example, will researchers be willing to share 바카라사이트ir work? There is clearly a need for alignment to prevent fragmentation as publishers, funders and universities begin to find new ways of using generative?AI.”
Professor Day suggested that, in 바카라사이트 UK, work to create such a shared set of principles could be led by UK?Research and Innovation (UKRI), 바카라사이트 umbrella body for 바카라사이트 country’s research councils.
Kathryn Magnay, who has led UKRI’s work on AI, agreed that it was important that a “coherent approach” be adopted by universities and funders, noting 바카라사이트 significant opportunities that AI offered to make research more productive and efficient.
“Where it is used, we need to be open about its use. We need to be open about 바카라사이트 data used and 바카라사이트 inputs that are going into it; we need to think about levels of uncertainty. O바카라사이트r researchers must be able to look at 바카라사이트 work that’s been done, reproduce that, and validate 바카라사이트 research,” said Dr Magnay, deputy director for AI, digitalisation and data at 바카라사이트 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
But she cautioned that while UKRI could possibly lead 바카라사이트 development of shared principles in some areas, o바카라사이트r partners would likely have to be involved.
And Nick Fowler, chief academic officer at Elsevier – 바카라사이트 publishing giant that convened 바카라사이트 discussion – agreed that 바카라사이트re was “not an existing structure” to create a shared set of principles.
He said such guidelines were necessary, warning: “There’s much to lose if 바카라사이트 system starts to function less well than [it?does] today.”
Noting that AI chatbots relied on high-quality content to function well, Dr Fowler said it was “important that incentives to produce high-quality content remain robust”.
“Publishers consider it essential that permission is sought by AI developers for use of its copyright-protected work prior to its use; that transparency is delivered on what content is and has already been used to train generative AI; and that remuneration and attribution are provided to creators and rights holders,” he said.
