Webinar: AI for Academic Writing – Separating Fact from Fiction

Generative AI tools are transforming how researchers and students write, yet many still face uncertainty about what’s ethical, what’s allowed, and how to avoid unintentional mistakes. Paperpal’s recent survey of 1,400+ academics revealed that while over 80% use AI tools for their research and writing, 44% of the respondents were unclear on institutional policies and AI disclosure requirements. 

AI is quickly reshaping academia—but where do the boundaries lie? Get clear answers and expert insights on AI detection, disclosures, and responsible AI use in an exclusive panel discussion, part of The AI Exchange initiative by Paperpal.
