In an era where data is the new oil and artificial intelligence is the refinery, the academic landscape is undergoing seismic shifts. As the boundaries between human and machine learning blur, the ivory towers of academia are resounding with the whispers of generative AI ̶ intelligent algorithms that offer a guiding light through the labyrinths of research.

“Now is the most exciting time to be a researcher,” said Shwetak Patel, director of Google’s health technologies and an endowed professor of computing and electrical engineering at the University of Washington, as quoted in Inside Higher Ed. This is not just hyperbole. With an armory of AI tools at our disposal, research across disciplines has accelerated, leading to, for example, new drug discoveries, new medical treatment options and more accurate medical diagnoses. Following is a look at the vast array of generative AI tools that are reshaping the way research is conducted.
