Nagaland University explores ethical AI use in research

DIMAPUR — As part of the NU–Start up Project (2024–2026), Nagaland University organised an offline training programme on ‘Ethical adoption of AI tools in academic research,’ led by Dr. Chanlang Ki Bareh, principal investigator and resource person.

In a statement, the university stated that the sessions were held across the Kohima and Medziphema campuses of Nagaland University, drawing enthusiastic participation from research scholars.

The first session, held on November 6, brought together 54 Ph.D. scholars from the School of Agricultural Sciences, while the second, on November 7, engaged 62 Ph.D. scholars from the Schools of Humanities & Education, Engineering & Technology, and Management.

Through interactive discussions and demonstrations, Dr. Bareh explored the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in research — from literature review and idea generation to data analysis, visualisation, and academic writing.

He emphasised the importance of ethical practices, academic integrity, and transparency when integrating AI tools into scholarly work. The sessions encouraged participants to reflect on how responsible use of emerging technologies can enhance the quality and credibility of academic research.
