ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: INVESTIGATING TRANSLATION-BASED PLAGIARISM IN UZBEK HIGHER EDUCATION
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, academic integrity, plagiarism, translation-based plagiarism, higher education, digital intelligenceAbstract
This paper explores the increasing influence of artificial intelligence on academic integrity in higher education, with a focus on translation-based plagiarism. It looks like the rapid growth of AI-powered technologies like text-generation programs, paraphrasing software, and machine translation systems is changing how well students write for school. The research indicates that while these technologies substantially require language acquisition and academic output, they simultaneously introduce novel challenges concerning creativity, authorship, and ethical academic conduct. The article talks about how translation-based plagiarism has become a common but hard-to-find form of academic dishonesty. It stresses how students often use AI tools to translate academic information from one language to another without giving credit to the sources, which makes it harder to find plagiarism. The study further identifies the challenges educators encounter in upholding academic integrity within multilingual learning environments.
