Abstract

This paper intends to analyze the use of artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, in scientific research and writing and its conflicts with integrity standards in co-authorship. Thus, we aim to problematize the theme and suggest criteria for defining co-authorship in scientific works in the perspective of using artificial intelligence tools. It is concluded that, considering the current scenario, scientific journals should introduce policies on the issue, recommending that: 1. artificial intelligence mechanisms (such as ChatGPT) do not satisfy the requirements for co-authorship; 2. Authors must declare (in the methodology or in the acknowledgments) the use of artificial intelligence mechanisms in the writing of the article and/or in the other stages of the scientific research; 3. Authors are responsible for errors, plagiarism and other misconducts that eventually occur in their research due to the use of artificial intelligence mechanisms.
