Abstract

This study aimed to explore students’ perspectives on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into scientific collaboration, specifically on writing academic articles and creating scientific posters. The research employed open-ended interviews conducted among 61 civil and military students. Opinions were labelled, coded, and gathered into the following categories: positive impact on collaboration, challenges faced, and educational impact. Among the positives were improving efficiency, enhancing the quality of work, and generating new ideas. The challenges concerned experiencing technical difficulties with AI tools, inconsistency in AI outputs, and AI dependence, which may lead to behaviours on the verge of addiction. Regarding educational impact, students noticed that AI helps improve learning new skills, increases engagement in the task, and enhances critical thinking. As one researcher performed the thematic analyses, Cohen’s Kappa statistic was used to ensure intra-coder reliability. This study highlights the need for further research to optimize the use of AI in scientific collaboration while addressing ethical concerns related to students’ motivations for using AI tools, promoting responsible use, and researching students’ emotions, cognitive processes, and behaviours resulting from their interactions with AI tools. The research provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers to integrate AI effectively into academic practice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
