AI ethics captures a vast range of concerns. In an analysis of university policies, we found a ubiquitous reluctance toward AI integration in the top 30 universities in the world with some notable exceptions. In the US, Harvard is leading the way in AI adoption by not only creating a centralized site for AI resources, and an AI institute but going as far as to create AI sandboxes for researchers to integrate AI into potentially sensitive research. Yale and the Russell Group universities (UK) are not far behind in developing holistic policies that do not suppress the use of AI. A conversation between Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Ben Nelson, Chairman and CEO of the Minerva Project, at World Knowledge Forum 2023 shows the concerns that exist globally.

Large language models are full of security vulnerabilities, yet they’re being embedded into tech products on a vast scale.
ChatGPT has taken the world by storm. Within two months of its release it reached 100 million active users, making it the fastest-growing consumer application ever launched. Users are attracted to the tool’s advanced capabilities – and concerned by its potential to cause disruption in various sectors.
When you think about AI technology, fan works, and copyright, what excites you? And, what keeps you up at night?
A lawyer representing a man who sued an airline relied on artificial intelligence to help prepare a court filing. It did not go well.
A copyright lawyer and fair use expert weighs in on the legal implications of these new AI technologies.
The legal implications of using generative AI are still unclear, particularly in relation to copyright infringement, ownership of AI-generated works, and unlicensed content in training data.
This Legal Sidebar explores questions that courts and the U.S. Copyright Office have begun to confront regarding whether the outputs of generative AI programs are entitled to copyright protection as well as how training and using these programs might infringe copyrights in other works.
The Copyright Office issued this statement of policy to clarify its practices for examining and registering works that contain material generated by the use of artificial intelligence technology
Aside from ethical and potential bias concerns, the rise of generative artificial intelligence also raises intellectual property infringement and breach of contract issues that will likely be negotiated, navigated and litigated for years to come.
The Library Copyright Alliance, the American Library Association, and the Association of Research Libraries have developed joint principles for copyright and artificial intelligence (AI).
This document outlines Texas Tech's policy on the use of AI tools in the creation of inventions and patents.
For our academic proposals, from a publication in an academic journal to the delivery of an assignment for an academic course, it is necessary to consider that everything extracted from this type of source must be academically reviewed through valid academic sources. However, if you are interested in how to cite this kind of source, here are the most important styles:
Information about how to quote AI-generated text, create references to AI models and software, and related issues.
This site features questions and answers about how to cite AI in text and how to create formal citations for footnotes or endnotes.
This site provides information about using the MLA template, paraphrasing and quoting text, citing creative visual works, and more.

According to ChatGPT, some examples of what generative AI tools can do include:
Conversational AI: ChatGPT can be used to power chatbots and virtual assistants that can hold natural language conversations with users, answer questions, and perform tasks.
Language translation: Generative AI tools can be used to automatically translate text from one language to another, improving communication across language barriers.
Imitate genres and styles: ChatGPT can create a scientific treatise, a legal brief, or other genre written in the style of Shakespeare, or at the level of an 8th grader, or ...
Text generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate a variety of text, including articles, stories, poetry, and even computer code.
Image generation: Generative AI tools can generate images and graphics, including realistic faces, landscapes, and even abstract art.
Music generation: Some generative AI tools can generate music, creating unique compositions based on certain parameters or styles.
Some points to keep in mind:
If you choose to use ChatGPT or some other AI technology for writing, be sure you are transparent about your use of it with your teachers and publishers and working within their policies and parameters.
Before including generative AI tools in a project you intend to get published, make sure your target journal and publisher allow the integration of AI generated text and images with manuscript submissions. Below are a few example publisher statements or policy on the use of AI in article submissions.
Elsevier’s new AI author policy focuses on ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record and aims to provide greater transparency and guidance to authors, readers, reviewers, editors and contributors.
IEEE Guidelines on AI-Generated Text: The use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text in an article shall be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of any paper submitted to an IEEE Conference or Periodical. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text shall have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text.
“Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, do not currently satisfy our authorship criteria. Notably an attribution of authorship carries with it accountability for the work, which cannot be effectively applied to LLMs. Use of an LLM should be properly documented in the Methods section (and if a Methods section is not available, in a suitable alternative part) of the manuscript.”
PLOS expects that articles should report the listed authors’ own work and ideas. Any contributions made by other sources must be clearly and correctly attributed.
