Workshop: AI for Academic Writing: Separating Fact from Fiction

Do you avoid using AI in academic writing because you’re unsure of what’s ethical or allowed? You’re not alone. A recent Paperpal survey of 1,400+ academics showed that while over 80% use AI tools, a staggering 44% remain unclear about institutional policies around AI use and the need for disclosures. 

That’s why Paperpal is launching The AI Exchange: Real Conversations on AI in Education and Research, starting with an exclusive expert panel discussion to clear the air on some of academia’s most debated topics.
