Abstract

In the present age, the influx of AI-driven generative tools such as ChatGPT, most especially in the higher institution context, is alarming. Students are faced with the challenges of making ethical decisions regarding the possible options of whether to use AI generative tools to do their assignment or use the conventional search engine, which seems to be more ethical but rigorous and time-consuming. With this background, this systematic review seeks to address several ethical issues faced by higher education and how they influence their decision-making ability while using AI-driven generative tools. This systematic review explores the scope and nature of ethical dilemmas in using AI-driven generative among higher education students by synthesising secondary research (e.g., systematic reviews) indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus. This review paper, guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework, reviews empirical studies of AI generative tools solely for higher education, which were published in English between 2020 and July 2024. Seventeen out of the 413 studies accessed during the research were included in the scope of the research. Studies that were conducted with AI-generate tools or that examined the ethical dimension of possible educational intervention from the perspective of any study group/sample were included as well, and any studies that focused on higher education students’ ethical challenges while using AI were equally included. Ethical issues arising in the studies were examined in the context of the ethical framework determined by [1]. The general characteristics of the studies included in the scope of the research, research designs, technologies used, and ethical issues that arise are presented. The findings from this study will provide a comprehensive understanding of the ethical dilemmas higher education students face using AI generative tools, most especially while doing their assignments.
