In recent years, academic institutions worldwide have witnessed a wave of technological innovation, with generative artificial intelligence (AI) reshaping how research is conducted, written, and evaluated. But with advancement has come controversy. Universities and academic journals now face rising incidents of students and researchers using AI tools not only to ease workflows but also to manipulate algorithms and exploit weaknesses in established review systems, raising profound questions about the future of academic integrity and knowledge credibility.

Generative AI is reshaping how research is created, written, and reviewed. For Thai universities, the shift brings both opportunity and risk as students and researchers explore ways to game algorithms and bypass review systems. This matters as Thai institutions modernize submissions, defenses, and peer evaluation.

AI was welcomed in academia to reduce workloads. Tools that summarize, check logic, flag dubious citations, and suggest edits have become commonplace in peer review. Yet educators now face strategies aimed at “cheating the algorithm.” Experts warn that such tactics threaten the credibility of scholarly work.
