Generative AI tools are transforming how researchers and students write, yet many still face uncertainty about what’s ethical, what’s allowed, and how to avoid unintentional mistakes. Paperpal’s recent survey of 1,400+ academics revealed that while over 80% use AI tools for their research and writing, 44% of the respondents were unclear on institutional policies and AI disclosure requirements.
AI is quickly reshaping academia but where do the boundaries lie? As part of The AI Exchange initiative by Paperpal, this exclusive panel discussion will deliver clear answers on AI detection, disclosures, and responsible use. R Discovery and Paperpal, interconnected tools that support the research journey—one helping you discover and read the latest papers, the other helping you write with clarity—come together here to extend this important conversation to the R Discovery community.
