Generative artificial intelligence and scientific integrity

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence has undeniable benefits, but it raises important ethical questions,
such as its impact on individual autonomy and responsibility, social inclusion, cultural identity, security,
fair distribution of benefits, accountability, and even the environment. This article aims to bridge the
gap between the numerous benefits of generative artificial intelligence for medicine and society and,
at the same time, to reflect on and make recommendations for ethical, responsible, and trustworthy
generative artificial intelligence, especially regarding how science is conducted and its use in teaching
and research with complete scientific and academic integrity, in a clear exercise of anticipatory
technological ethics. Creating clear rules for the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence is
an existential ethical challenge.
