| Abstract | Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has emerged as one of the most transformative technological innovations in scientific research, fundamentally changing the way researchers generate ideas, conduct literature reviews, analyze data, write manuscripts, develop software, and communicate scientific findings. Powered by large language models (LLMs), foundation models, multimodal AI, and deep learning architectures, Generative AI enables researchers to automate repetitive tasks, synthesize large volumes of scientific literature, generate hypotheses, assist in programming, simulate experiments, and accelerate interdisciplinary discovery. Across disciplines such as medicine, engineering, environmental science, social sciences, economics, and education, GenAI is increasingly integrated into research workflows to improve productivity, collaboration, and knowledge creation. Despite these advantages, the rapid adoption of Generative AI raises significant concerns regarding research integrity, transparency, authorship, reproducibility, intellectual property, algorithmic bias, privacy, misinformation, and ethical governance. AI-generated content may contain fabricated references, inaccurate interpretations, hidden biases, or unverifiable outputs if used without appropriate human oversight. Consequently, research institutions, publishers, funding agencies, and policymakers are developing ethical guidelines to ensure responsible AI adoption while maintaining scientific rigor, academic honesty, and public trust. This study examines the opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations associated with Generative Artificial Intelligence in scientific research through a multidisciplinary perspective. Employing a qualitative and analytical research methodology based on secondary data from artificial intelligence, research methodology, information science, ethics, and higher education literature, the study investigates AI-enabled research workflows, implementation challenges, governance frameworks, and future directions. The findings indicate that Generative AI significantly enhances research efficiency, interdisciplinary collaboration, literature synthesis, and scientific innovation when applied responsibly under transparent governance and continuous human supervision. |
