challenges, particularly concerningplagiarism [28] and academic integrity [29]. Advanced AI tools, such as generative languagemodels, can produce essays, research papers, and other academic content that may be difficult todetect as non-original work. This raises concerns about students using AI to bypass learning andsubmit AI-generated material as their own. Beyond plagiarism, there is the challenge of ensuringthat AI tools are used ethically [30], as improper use can undermine the educational process anddevalue academic achievements. To address these issues, institutions must establish clearguidelines for AI use, educate students and staff on ethical practices, and invest in technologies toidentify and prevent misuse.Besides, the adoption of AI in
