Abstract

This chapter addresses the ethical implications of employing large language models (LLMs) in research contexts, highlighting the increasing importance of responsible artificial intelligence (AI) use. By focusing on the integration of LLMs in the context of research methodologies, this chapter outlines specific ethical challenges, including algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, and the inherent lack of transparency and explainability in LLM outputs. This emphasizes the necessity for researchers to rigorously validate LLM-generated outputs and maintain a balance between leveraging the efficiency of AI and preserving the richness of qualitative analysis. Ultimately, the chapter advocates for a knowledgeable and critical approach to using LLMs, fostering an informed research community that values ethical standards in the application of AI technologies.
