Abstract
This research paper aims to elucidate the attitudes of Algerian researchers, including university professors holding graduate degrees and their doctoral students, towards the utilization of artificial intelligence applications in their academic pursuits and scientific research. The study concentrated on the principal motivations that prompt these researchers to utilize AI tools throughout their academic careers, in addition to the advantages and disadvantages that arise from this usage, and the most significant technical and ethical challenges encountered by this group when employing AI. The study employed a five-point Likert scale to ascertain attitudes through an electronic questionnaire, to address the study’s questions and hypotheses. The sample consisted of 567 individuals. The results demonstrated that there is a favorable attitude towards utilizing AI in scientific research, with recognition of certain concerns that can be addressed through continuous training and appropriate academic guidance. This, in turn, has the potential to enhance the role of AI applications in improving the quality of scientific research and increasing innovation among Algerian researchers.
