#ATEE2025 I shared this key message:
👩‍🏫 Teachers shouldn’t just use tech — they should create with it.
⚠️ AI brings risks of cognitive blindness when outputs are taken at face value.
📚 RAG grounds AI in real sources, helping us see both strengths & limits.

💬 Your turn:
Should journals & universities mandate AI usage statements in all submissions?
Yes ✅ / No ❌

🎯 Takeaway:
AI can be a research partner, but without ethical safeguards, it risks undermining the very trust academia is built on.

1

Aysegul Liman Kaban, PhD @limankaban.bsky.social · Aug 20

So what can be done? Experts pointed to 3 key solutions:
1️⃣ Clear & enforceable ethical guidelines
2️⃣ Mandatory AI usage disclosures in academic work
3️⃣ AI ethics training for students & researchers

Aysegul Liman Kaban, PhD @limankaban.bsky.social · Aug 20

⚠️ Our Delphi study found 4 big concerns experts agree on:

Blurred authorship & intellectual contribution

Lack of transparency & accountability

Risks around data privacy & security

Potential erosion of students’ critical thinking

🤖 As AI tools like ChatGPT enter higher education, the line between AI assistance and authorship is becoming dangerously blurred.
Who really wrote the paper: the student, the researcher… or the algorithm? #AcademicIntegrity
