Welcome to our project dedicated to exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and research integrity. Our objective is to work with the research sector to identify how integrity can be embedded where AI is used in research, and the support and guidance that is needed to ensure that the benefits of AI can be realised whilst trust in research is maintained.

This page will provide updates and resources that will help the research community navigate the evolving landscape of generative AI whilst maintaining the principles of integrity.

Project overview

In the 2024 annual statement, the Committee published what it saw as emerging themes and related questions for the community. Since then, the Committee has engaged with a wide range of stakeholders via correspondence and meetings to further develop these 7 key themes. For a citeable version of these 7 key themes, please see Zenodo.

Following the publication of the refreshed Concordat to Support Research Integrity, we also provide a perspective, with a focus on researchers, on the impact of GenAI on the five concordat principles. The refreshed Concordat affirms the Committee’s belief that the five principles of research integrity maintain their value when GenAI is used as part of the research process. This document highlights the key considerations the research community should take into account regarding research integrity when using GenAI.

You can read about the Concordat to Support Research Integrity and Generative AI.

Next steps

Our next steps will be to engage further across the sector at events around the UK, engaging across academia and government stakeholders. we will post occasional updates but in the meantime, please get in touch if you have any points you would like us to consider. We will deliver a full set of recommendations in 2025.
