Abstract

In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has grown rapidly and has revolutionized various areas of life. One of these areas is research, where AI is used to enhance and streamline the research process. Students are among those who have benefited from the use of AI in research, as it has made the process more efficient and effective. The use of AI applications to improve essays and reports is a growing trend that needs being taken into account by professors in order to assess properly the student’s contributions. A large concern affects faculties worldwide regarding the possibility of cheating. How it will influence the educational process is another question. Changes about how assess and how to teach are needed or the trend will end somehow and somewhat? In that sense, we will explore the impact of AI on student research, and how it has changed the way students approach writing reports. Finally, we will focus on how professorship has modified the way to assess students work.
