International Symposium: Generative AI for Academic Writing — Ethical Use, Productivity & Research Integrity
Gulf University Research Council hosted an International Symposium titled Generative AI for Academic Writing: Ethical Use, Productivity & Research Integrity, moderated by Dr. Mohammed Alshekhly, Associate Professor at Gulf University.
The symposium featured an international lineup of guest speakers — Dr. Parveen Ahmed, Dr. Saravanan Pandiaraj, Mahynour Aly, and Dr. Hema Kumaran — each addressing different dimensions of generative AI in scholarly writing.
Discussions centred on responsible adoption of AI tools to support drafting, editing and idea generation, while preserving authorship, attribution, and the integrity of the research record. Participants explored institutional and personal policies for distinguishing acceptable AI assistance from misconduct.
