Implications of Leveraging AI in Students’ Academic Writing: A Review Analysis
Abstract
Artificial intelligence has significantly reduced the need for human activity in education. Numerous AI technologies are already present in various academic applications created to help students with their academic writing. However, although the leverage of AI in academic writing for a student is associated with numerous opportunities, it also raises multiple issues and problems that should be thoroughly investigated. The objective of this study is to review the implications of leveraging AI in student academic writing. This study employed a review analysis approach, examining relevant literature based on the specified keywords. The methodology of this study includes: (a) a technique for searching the literature; (b) determining inclusion and exclusion criteria; and (c) a review analysis process. The review analysis identified several implications of leveraging AI for students’ academic writing. They include, but are not limited to: (a) paradigm shift in learning; (b) ethical considerations and research integrity; (c) enhancing writing abilities and efficiency; (d) redefining academic writing practices; and (e) collaboration between AI and human writers. In conclusion, leveraging AI as a supplementary tool has revealed several positive implications for students' academic writing and has considered the significance and relevance of these findings. For additional studies, a broader discussion of the ethical concerns associated with the leverage of AI in academic writing will have to be developed.
