Abstract This dissertation takes a look at the ethics surrounding generative AI, especially those big language models LLMs like ChatGPT and how they're being used for academic writing in colleges and universities. More specifically, this research explores some pretty important questions about spotting plagiarism and how new knowledge is created. It gathers stories and opinions from people in the academic world professors, students, and even the schools themselves to really understand what they think about AI's impact on things like academic honesty and what students get out of their education. The results show that LLMs can make it easier to get information and can even help with writing. However, they also bring up some significant issues. For example, they might encourage academic dishonesty, which could lead to students not doing real work, and maybe even unintentional plagiarism. Findings and examples also suggest that colleges and universities need to come up with clear rules and guidelines for using AI ethically. These findings are really relevant right now because we're paying a lot more attention to how technology and ethics connect, and it's making people in higher education rethink their usual teaching methods. While this particular study focuses on academic writing and potential student academic dishonesty, paying attention to the ethical use of generative AI, in general, will likely translate to practices in other fields. Consider healthcare applications, for example, where the integrity of information is, of course, of the utmost importance. As such, this research contributes to the larger discussion on using AI responsibly and highlights the ethical practices and tension between innovative practices and ethical stances toward dissemination of information.
