ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL FOR ACADEMIC WRITING AND STUDENT RESEARCH

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly transformed the landscape of modern higher education. AI-based digital tools are increasingly used by university students to support academic writing, information retrieval, and research activities. These technologies provide new opportunities to improve the efficiency of the learning process, facilitate access to scientific information, and assist in structuring academic texts. At the same time, the integration of AI into academic practices raises important questions concerning academic integrity, critical thinking, and responsible use of digital tools. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of artificial intelligence in supporting academic writing and student research and to outline its advantages and potential challenges in the contemporary educational environment.
