Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are slowly and steady showing their presence in our daily life including research activity. The study AI tools application status in various research activity was carried out through online survey from selected research scholars and faculty members of Visva-Bharati (A Central University), Santiniketan, West Bengal, India. Major areas of AI uses were in literature review, paraphrasing, PPT preparation including applications in various research activities. The researchers at Visva-Bharati (A Central University)were leaning heavily towards using Semantic Scholar, with 30.5% of them choosing it as their go-to AI tool for academic work. The chart and percentages indicated that the most common uses of AI tools were for paraphrasing (42.4%), followed by literature review (40.7%), and PPT making (30.5%).There is a growing consensus that AI should be integrated into faculty training programs and student curricula across higher education institutions (HEIs). Moreover, several responses stressed the importance of information security in the use of AI and the development of tools under ethical guidance. Overall, there is high potential of using AI tools for day-today research work at the higher education institute.
