Artificial intelligence and its applications and effects in research activities

In recent years, the term Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become more popular than ever, and various aspects of people's lives have been affected by this technology. The introduction of this technology in research activities and scientific affairs, especially with the emergence of chat bots such as ChatGPT, has reduced some time-consuming and tedious research processes and researchers have more opportunities to focus on deeper and more fundamental issues. Currently, apart from the direct use of artificial intelligence in research activities (such as image processing or prediction of medicinal properties and compounds), this technology is widely used for more common activities such as literature review, text summarization, translation and text editing. However, the use of artificial intelligence in research has its own challenges and risks. Plagiarism, error or bias in the text, manipulation or distortion of scientific records, intellectual property issues, and occupational hazards are among the cases to be mentioned.
