Ethics and Scientific Research in the age of the AI-Chatbot (Professor Dan Remenyi)

With the arrival of AI-Chatbots and AI powered writing assistants academic research ethics has never been more important. Thus, conducting academic research to the highest ethical standards is essential for both the researcher personally and the university or institution at which he or she is working. If the highest standards of ethical behaviour are not maintained, then the researcher and the university or institution can easily fall into disrepute. A detailed appreciation of scientific ethics is required by both faculty and students.

Whereas in former years most of scientific research ethics used to be seen as really only being relevant to empirical research it is now an important issue in all forms of academic research.

This webinar will address the major concerns every researcher must now be aware of in the new research environment they have to work in, and thus help the scientific researcher find his or her was through the ethics maze.

Prof Dan Remenyi specialises in research methodology. He was for more than a decade a Visiting Professor in Information Systems Management at the School of Systems and Data Studies at Trinity College, University of Dublin. He teaches Research Methodology and Sociology of Research. He has authored or co-authored more than 30 books and some 50 academically refereed papers. He is published in all 4 of the ‘A’ rated Journals in the United Kingdom in Information Systems Management. Some of his books have been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Romanian. He holds a B Soc Sc, an MBA and a PhD.
