Abstract
This study examines the ethical issues and the right approaches
involved using artificial intelligence Ai tools in research writing among
Christian Religious scholars in tertiary institutions in Kaduna State. The
study investigates the use of Artificial Intelligence Ai and the over
dependence on it by scholars which raises questions of human critical thinking
and ideas as well as the influx of questionable and inaccurate data which leads
to poor content, inaccurate results and generalization. It also seeks to
address the issue of originality and truthfulness among scholars. The study
aims at pointing out the implications of over relying on Ai tools in research
writing which is gradually taken over the function of human intelligence and
thorough field work. While Ai application may be adopted in certain research
writing, this work highlights the right approaches and ethical implications
which researchers should employ and consider. The research objective is
to examine the concepts of Ai tools in research writing and and its moral
implications among religious educators in Tertiary Institutions in Kaduna
state. Twenty respondents comprising scholars in religious studies in Kaduna
state college of education and Kaduna State University were sampled. The
findings were analysed from the responses generated. The paper submits that
religious educators have a great moral burden as agents of truth and
righteousness to apply their God given knowledge and human intelligence
in developing their research work. It is the opinion of this paper based on
interactions and scholarly engagement with Christian Religious educators that
the majority of them largely use Ai wholly and solely in their academic writing
which raises more concerns about what such scholars will give out to their
students. The paper recommends regular seminar and conferences on research
writing and the use of Ai in order to enhance robust and intellectual scholarly
works and mitigate the total and over reliance on Ai by religious educators.
