ABSTRACT
This article critically examines the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in academic environments, including education, research, and institutional service work. It explores how AI tools, particularly generative language models, are reshaping pedagogical practices, facilitating research activities, and streamlining administrative tasks. While these technologies present opportunities for innovation and efficiency, they also raise important concerns about academic integrity, research quality, equitable access, and the erosion of human-centric values in higher education. The article advocates for a balanced integration of AI that enhances academic processes without compromising mentorship, critical thinking, and institutional ethics. Additionally, the article reflects on India’s approach to Digital Rights Management (DRM) in copyright law, questioning the relevance of restrictive provisions in a developing economy where broader access to educational material is crucial. Through this dual focus, the article highlights the need for thoughtful policy and pedagogical reforms that align technological advancements with the core mission of academic institutions.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Higher Education, Academic Integrity, Pedagogy, Generative AI, Research Quality, Academic Administration, Digital Rights Management, Indian Copyright Law, Technological Ethics.
