Is Artificial Intelligence a New Threat to the Academic Ethics?: Enron Scandal Revisited By ChatGPT

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the effects of the use of artificial intelligence tools in academic research on academic ethics. For this purpose, the case method used in business education is chosen and the Enron case is made written with the commands given to the artificial intelligence application ChatGPT. The case study obtained from ChatGPT is evaluated within the framework of academic ethics. Two important results obtained can be mentioned: (1) By giving appropriate commands to ChatGPT, (i) the text flow in different formats can be created, (ii) a literature search can be made, (iii) discussion questions can be created, (iv) the conclusion and introduction sections can be written, (v) a title can be selected for the created text, (vi) keywords can be selected, (vii) a summary can be written and (viii) a reference list can be created in a desired format. (2) When appropriate commands are selected in ChatGPT, (i) an article with a low score in similarity check can be obtained, (ii) the article can be converted into different wordings by writing some additional commands. The fact that the application does not recognize a text that it has created before is a significant challenge to the similarity questioning. As a result, it is commented that the use of artificial intelligence tools in academic research has potential of violation of academic ethics and limited access to technologies that can detect this violation is an important challenge to academic writing.
