The Hidden Risk of AI-Generated Content

Artificial Intelligence is a powerful research assistant, but its tendency to "hallucinate" poses a critical threat to academic integrity. AI models often invent convincing, yet entirely non-existent, citations—complete with plausible authors, titles, and publication years.

Submitting work with these fake citations can lead to severe consequences, including accusations of academic misconduct, failed grades, or even the retraction of published papers. Your reputation depends on the verifiable truth of your sources.
