Abstract
Academic and non-academic research institutes are the two key global sectors that are accomplishing the research agenda. This paper focuses on the implications of using AI tools in academic research. Academic institutions conduct rigorous research to find the impact of different issues on society. Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts society, organizations, and governance. AI has significantly transformed various domains, including higher education and academic research. Because of its effect on research and education in multidisciplinary fields, there is increasingly significant interest in finding AI's effect on research. In this context, there is a growing concern to find the impact of AI on research in academic institutions. This article aims to engage in a rigorous dialogue on AI’s role in academic research. Conducting a systematic literature review of AI's impact on academic research, this study aims to investigate 1) how AI tools are affecting academic research and 2) ethical dilemmas in using AI in academic research. By exploring the advantages and challenges of using innovative applications of AI tools in academic research, this study will give stakeholders, especially researchers, educators, and students, a comprehensive view of how AI could shape educational and interdisciplinary research practices in the future.
