Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) continues to transform several sectors, including education, agriculture, and healthcare. In Zambia, the adoption of Generative AI in the education sector has been significant. This paper explores the level of awareness and adoption of Generative AI tools by students, lecturers, and researchers in Zambia. The paper also discusses the challenges of ongoing adoption and integration efforts, especially the ethical issues surrounding the use of Generative AI in research. Using a qualitative document analysis research approach, this paper argues that while Generative AI offers increased research productivity and efficiency, the lack of clear guidelines and policies for its adoption and integration continues to pose a challenge. The paper advocates for clear policies, training programs, and digital infrastructure development to guarantee the responsible and equitable integration of Generative AI in research.
