New study aims to keep AI in research honest and ethical
NCT ID NCT07340905
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is developing a tool to help researchers use artificial intelligence (AI) ethically in their work. AI is now used in many steps of research, from analyzing data to writing papers, but it can raise ethical concerns like bias or privacy. The study will ask 200 people who have experience with research or AI to test the tool and give feedback.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a standardized way to evaluate the ethical use of AI in research, helping researchers avoid bias and privacy issues.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with no intervention, so it will not directly treat any disease. The tool may not be widely adopted or may need further refinement.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
* Inclusion criteria * Age ≥ 18 * Able to provide informed consent * Has direct experience with research and/or AI tools used in research (often within the last 1-3 years) * Speaks/reads the study language (e.g., English/Arabic) * Available to complete the study activity (survey) * Exclusion criteria * No AI is involved. * It's only theory/principles with no checklist or questions. * It covers only one issue (privacy-only, bias-only) when you need full ethics. * Not enough info to assess (no data source, no model description, no intended use). * It's a small classroom/toy example with no real impact.
