AB - This study examines the legal implications of using AI agents in academic research and proposes directions for institutional reform. Characterized by autonomy and interactive capabilities, AI agents are increasingly involved in all stages of research, transforming traditional human-centered processes into human– AI collaborative structures. This shift raises several legal concerns.
First, copyright issues arise with respect to the authorship and originality of AI-generated outputs, making it necessary to distinguish AI-assisted creation from fully automated production on the basis of human contribution. Second, the use of training data creates challenges related to copyright infringement and the permissible scope of text and data mining. Third, responsibility in AI-based research is distributed across researchers, developers, and institutions. In response, this study emphasizes the need to maintain a human-centered copyright framework, clarify standards of originality, strengthen data governance, and expand researchers’ duties of verification, transparency, and research ethics in order to ensure responsible AI use in academic research.
