Workshop "AI ethics in academia: Rethinking policies for integrity and innovation"

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform research and education, the need for robust ethical frameworks in academia has never been more critical. This workshop will offer an open discussion of the challenges HE institutions and scientific journals face in creating policies that balance innovation with accountability. We aim to explore how the new ethical norms and innovations are shaping the future academic landscape. We will share the most representative cases of AI-driven change in institutions’ and journals’ policies.  Having analyzed current trends in education and research, we will invite participants to discuss the new roles of the researcher and strategies that will ensure successful human-AI partnership in academic context.
