By Natasha N. Johnson, Thaddeus L. Johnson, and Denise McCurdy

Abstract: 

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked a new debate within academia regarding forgery and truth in the face of diminishing academic freedom. The use of AI tools, such as language models, has raised concerns about plagiarism and academic dishonesty, as these tools have the potential to generate original texts without human involvement. Educators and institutions must stay informed about these advancements and adapt their strategies and policies to address the changing landscape of academic misconduct. This article delves into the complex relationship between AI, academic freedom, and truth-telling in the modern era, concluding with recommendations for best practices that maintain the integrity of scholarly work while harnessing the benefits of AI for scientific progress.
