Artificial Intelligence and Scientific Research: Values at Stake in Education

Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education and Scientific Research

Abstract

Education is associated with the political responsibility of specialized institutions, whose representative, as a research advisor, is assigned the function of mediating positive and negative aspects of the use of artificial intelligence by appreciating the values at stake. Artificial intelligence, AI, is associated with the debate about its effects on volition: While, in research, human choice is aided by a creative mind that appreciates the context of reality, AI offers ‘ready-to-use’ elements, large volume and sometimes out of context, favoring bias in interpretation and enhancing the practice of plagiarism. These are negative aspects that ‘petrify’ the research content. We explain that the advisor has a mediating role when examining situations that require efficiency and productivity as opposed to the need for experience and creativity in scientific research. This role of mediator makes the advisor fit perfectly into the concept of education as a dynamic process, keeping the research activity from inattentive ‘consumption’ of the information provided by AI, which can hinder creativity in research or make it converge to idealized preferences (bias). In this way, the advisor combines research and artificial intelligence, weighing principles and values at stake that cannot be forgotten in education and stimulating opportunities for science and innovation to be socially sustainable.
