<Abstract>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in scientific research, transforming data analysis, automation, and decision-making. As its presence expands, AI is also intersecting with research ethics, prompting critical reflections on accountability, transparency, and fairness.
Purpose: This study investigates the emerging role of AI in ethical decision-making within scientific research. It aims to explore how AI-driven tools can assist researchers, institutions, and policymakers in upholding ethical standards amidst growing research complexity.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper adopts a conceptual and analytical approach, reviewing current and emerging AI technologies—such as ethical review systems, decision-support frameworks, and predictive models. It draws from literature and illustrative case discussions to assess ethical applications and challenges.
Findings: AI shows promise in enhancing ethical governance by increasing consistency, transparency, and efficiency. However, concerns around algorithmic bias, interpretability, and accountability persist. The study advocates for a balanced AI-human collaboration to ensure responsible and adaptable ethical decision-making.
Research Limitations/Implications: This is a conceptual study without empirical validation. Future research should evaluate AI-based ethical tools in real-world settings to understand their effectiveness and ethical soundness across diverse disciplines.
Practical Implications: AI can support ethical review processes, assist decision-makers, and encourage proactive compliance. Such tools offer scalable solutions for managing ethics in complex or high-volume research environments.
Originality/Value: The paper presents a novel perspective on integrating AI into research ethics. It highlights AI’s dual potential—as a tool for ethical enhancement and a source of new ethical risks—calling for transparent, accountable, and human-centered frameworks</Abstract>
