md:my-2 text-gray-700 leading-6 overflow-hidden overflow-ellipsis line-clamp-2" data-test="blogs-featuredBlog-description"> AI in research tools have made handling complex tasks easier, but not all of them are created equal. While DeepSeek is widely known and accessible, it is a general-purpose AI tool, available to the public and easily understood by many. In contrast, ZAIA, an AI assistant for researchers developed by Zendy, takes a more specialised approach. Designed specifically for researchers and academics, ZAIA easily integrates into academic workflows with customised tools. Let’s take a closer look at how these two AI tools compare. What is DeepSeek DeepSeek AI is a Chinese conversational AI chat created by Liang Wenfeng, mostly used as a general-purpose AI tool that can assist with writing, brainstorming, coding, and more. It’s a Swiss Army knife, good for a lot of things but not customised to a specific need. This makes it a great option for users who need an all-in-one AI assistant rather than a highly specialised tool. What is ZAIA ZAIA, Zendy’s AI assistant, is built with researchers in mind. You can ask any research-related question, and ZAIA will analyse millions of academic papers to provide credible, reference-backed answers. In addition, It’s integrated into Zendy to give you access to over 40 million academic research papers and offers AI in research tools that make chatting, summarising, analysing, and extracting insights from research papers much simpler. ZAIA and DeepSeek Data &amp; Knowledge Sources One of the key differences between ZAIA and DeepSeek is how they access and process information. ZAIA is designed by researchers for researchers, providing direct access to a vast collection of 40 million scholarly publications through Zendy’s massive digital library. This means researchers retrieve precise insights for their research, summarise it, and chat with it, all from credible, peer-reviewed sources. DeepSeek, on the other hand, is trained on a broad dataset covering various topics but lacks integration with academic databases like Zendy, PubMed or even SpringerLink, and cannot verify sources with citations. While it can generate general information, it lacks the ability to pull insights directly from academic literature, with a high possibility of predatory journals in the outputs. So, what does DeepSeek do better? As we mentioned above, it helps you in answering questions, brainstorming ideas, helping with writing, summarising information, and providing explanations on complex topics in a clear, understandable way. A Smarter, Lower Energy Consumption Choice Since AI became available to the public, concerns about energy consumption have begun to rise. For instance, DeepSeek-V3 required 2,788,000 GPU hours for training, equivalent to 836,400 kWh of energy. According to NDTV News, this consumes less energy compared to the current leading U.S. AI model, ChatGPT. According to RW Digital, the annual energy consumption for ChatGPT is expected to hit 226.8 GWh. To give you an idea of how much energy that is: It could fully charge 3.13 million electric vehicles, which is nearly 95% of all electric vehicles in the United States. It could power around 21,602 U.S. homes for a whole year. It would be enough to run the entire countries of Finland or Belgium for one day. On the other hand, ZAIA was developed to minimise energy usage even more, consuming as little as several kilowatts (kW) per server in data centres ZAIA’s focus on academic tasks means it requires fewer resources. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice for researchers who value sustainability. Who Should Use Which? If you’re looking for a general-purpose assistant to handle a variety of tasks, DeepSeek is a good option. But if you’re a student, researcher, or academic professional who works with research papers regularly, ZAIA is a better fit. It’s built to simplify the research process and provide you with the necessary AI in research tools and access to your academic needs, integrating AI in research for enhanced productivity and quicker discoveries. Conclusion DeepSeek is a great all-around tool, but ZAIA’s focus on the academic field makes it the smarter choice for researchers. It’s affordable, consumes less energy and time, and is designed to make your academic journey smoother. That’s why, when it comes to AI in research, personalisation is the key. .wp-block-image img { max-width: 85% !important; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; } </span><div class="flex mt-2 text-sm md:text-base " data-test="blogs-featuredBlog-numbers"><span class="flex items-center"><img alt="calendar" loading="lazy" width="10" height="10" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="mr-2 h-3 w-3" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=/images/blog/calendar.png&w=16&q=100 1x, /_next/image?url=/images/blog/calendar.png&w=32&q=100 2x" src="/_next/image?url=/images/blog/calendar.png&w=32&q=100"/>Feb 13, 2025<!-- --> |</span><span class="flex items-center " data-test="blogs-featuredBlog-numbers-minsRead"><img alt="clock" loading="lazy" width="10" height="10" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="mx-2 h-3 w-3" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=/images/blog/clock.png&w=16&q=100 1x, /_next/image?url=/images/blog/clock.png&w=32&q=100 2x" src="/_next/image?url=/images/blog/clock.png&w=32&q=100"/>8<!-- --> <!-- -->Mins Read</span></div></div></a><section class="text-gray-600 body-font mt-4 p-4 lg:p-0 max-w-screen-xl" data-test="blogs-recentBlogs"><span class="font-bold text-lg md:text-3xl" data-test="blogs-recentBlogs-label">Recent blogs</span><div class="grid grid-cols-1 gap-4 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 " data-test="blogs-recentBlogs-cards"><a class="relative duration-200 my-2" data-test="blogCard-What is Synthesis in Research?

Synthesis vs. Summerising vs. Analysis</h1><p class="leading-relaxed my-3 text-sm overflow-hidden overflow-ellipsis line-clamp-3 md:text-base"> Going through mountains of papers, studies, and data is a common task when working on a research project. Finding a logical approach to combine all of this information is the hard part. This process is called synthesis, a skill that can help make your research be clearer, more insightful, and more impactful. In simple terms, synthesis in research means combining ideas from different sources to create a new understanding. But here’s the thing: synthesis is often confused with summarising or analysing, which can lead to unclear or incomplete results. In this blog, we’ll break down what synthesis really means, how it’s different from other processes, and how you can do it well. Let’s get started. What is Synthesis in Research? It's about connecting ideas, data, and findings from multiple sources to generate a new perspective. It’s not just repeating what others have said—it’s about connecting the dots to see the bigger picture and how sources relate to your main idea For instance, suppose you are researching the effects of exercise on mental health. One study may indicate that yoga enhances mood, another suggests jogging lowers anxiety and a third that emphasises the advantages of team sports for social well-being. In order to conclude that different kinds of exercise have different positive effects on mental health, synthesis in research involves connecting these studies together. How is Synthesis in Research Different from Summarising and Analysing? A lot of researchers mix up synthesis with summarising or analysing. Here’s how they’re different: Synthesis vs. Summarising Summarising Summarising means condensing the key points of a source or multiple sources without adding new insights. Example: If three studies say that exercise improves mental health, a summary would list those findings without connecting them. Synthesis goes a step further. It combines ideas from multiple sources to create a new understanding. Example: Connecting findings about running, yoga, and team sports to show how different types of exercise benefit mental health in unique ways. Synthesis vs. Analysis Analysis involves breaking down a single source or idea to examine its parts, strengths, or weaknesses. It’s about looking closely at one piece of information. Example: Analysing a study on exercise and mental health might involve critiquing its methods or interpreting its results in detail. Synthesis does not just connect ideas but constructs a new argument or framework from them. It’s about seeing how different pieces of information relate to each other. Example: Synthesising multiple studies on exercise and mental health might reveal patterns, like how different types of exercise affect different aspects of mental health. Why Is Synthesis in Research Important? Because it helps you: See Connections: By combining insights, you can understand a topic more fully. Find Gaps: It helps you spot what’s missing in the existing research. Build Stronger Arguments: When you connect ideas from multiple sources, your conclusions become more convincing. Make Research Useful: In fields like policy or healthcare, synthesis helps turn research into practical solutions. Without synthesis, research can feel scattered or repetitive. It’s what ties everything together. How to Do Synthesis in Research: A Step-by-Step Guide Here’s a simple way to approach synthesis in research: 1. Start with a Clear Question Before diving into your sources, ask yourself: What am I trying to learn or answer? A clear question will help you stay focused and avoid getting overwhelmed. 2. Gather Your Sources Look for reliable, relevant studies, articles, and data. Use tools like Zendy to find the latest articles in one place and EndNote to keep everything organised. 3. Look for Patterns and Connections As you read, take notes on common themes, differences, or trends. For example, do multiple studies point to the same conclusion? Are there conflicting results? A table or chart can help you visualise these patterns. 4. Bring It All Together Combine the insights you’ve gathered into a cohesive narrative. Explain how the ideas relate to each other and to your research question. 5. Draw Your Conclusions Summarise what you’ve learned and explain why it matters. Be honest about any limitations and suggest areas for further study. How can you improve your synthesis skills? Read your sources multiple times. Make well-organised notes on each one. Find relevant ideas and evidence for them. Rearrange your notes based on concepts. Put ideas into an outline. Conclusion Synthesis in research is more than just combining information—it’s about creating new knowledge and understanding. By following the steps above, you can effectively bring together ideas, spot patterns, and produce work that’s clear, insightful, and useful. Whether you're a student, academic, or professional, synthesis can help you take your research to the next level. Struggling to make sense of your research?

They both measure journal impact but in different ways. Knowing how they work can help you choose the right journal to publish in. If you're deciding where to publish your research or assessing the significance of journals in your field, understanding these metrics can guide your choices. While both JIF and SJR aim to measure journal impact, they approach it differently. Depending on your needs, you might prefer one over the other or consider both for a well-rounded view. What Is SJR? Developed by SCImago using Scopus's database, SJR ranking evaluates the scientific impact of journals on their citations. Unlike a simple citation count, SJR assigns a higher value to citations from prestigious journals, meaning that not all citations carry the same weight. Key Features of SJR Ranking: Citation Quality Is Important: A journal's SJR ranking is influenced more by citations from reputable publications. Three-Year Citation Window: Citations are taken into account by SJR ranking for a duration of three years. Field-Normalised: SJR ranking takes into consideration variations among disciplines, which facilitates the comparison of publications from various fields of study. Open Access Inclusion: By incorporating open-access journals, SJR ranking provides a more comprehensive understanding of journal impact. What Is JIF? The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) provides one of the most well-known indicators of a journal, run by Clarivate and based on Web of Science database. Unlike SJR ranking, JIF is calculated by a straightforward ratio: the number of citations a journal receives in a given year divided by the number of citable articles published in the previous two years. Key Features of JIF: Two-Year Citation Window – Focuses on recent citations. Straightforward Calculation – It is simple to understand because it uses a simple average. Exclusive to Web of Science – Only Web of Science-indexed journals are included. Heavily Used in Academic Promotion – JIF is often a deciding factor in funding applications and tenure evaluations. Which Ranking Should You Use? It depends on what you're looking for. If you need a broader view of journal impact that considers citation prestige, SJR ranking may be more useful. If you're in a field where the Journal Impact Factor is commonly used for assessments (e.g., life sciences, medicine), JIF might be the better choice. If you're working with open-access journals, SJR provides a more inclusive perspective. In Conclusion While each ranking system has advantages, none of them is a perfect measurement of journal ranking quality. To have a better view of a journal's influence, think about examining a variety of classifications rather than depending solely on SJR ranking or JIF ranking. Knowing these distinctions will help you make well-informed choices, whether choosing a journal for publication or assessing a research paper.

Analysing this kind of data might seem tough, however, qualitative data analysis gives us organised ways to understand detailed descriptive info. Let's look at how researchers address analytics in academic research for texts, images, and audio, while also talking about why research data analysis matters overall. What is Qualitative Data Analysis? Qualitative data analysis examines and interprets non-numerical data to understand underlying themes, patterns, or stories. Unlike quantitative analysis, which focuses on numbers and statistical relationships, qualitative analysis emphasises meaning, context, and subjective interpretation. This type of research data analysis is often used in fields like sociology, anthropology, psychology, and education. Steps in Qualitative Research Data Analysis 1. Data Familiarisation Before jumping into research data analysis, researchers take time to really get familiar with the data. They might read transcripts, examine images, or listen to audio recordings several times. The goal is to fully understand the content and its context. For example, a researcher looking at workplace communication might listen to recordings of team meetings to get a sense of the tone, how the conversation flows, and the main topics being discussed. 2. Coding the Data Coding is a fundamental step in research data analysis. Researchers break the data into smaller parts by assigning labels or codes to segments of text, images, or audio. These codes represent themes, ideas, or categories that emerge from the data. 3. Identifying Themes After coding the data, researchers start grouping similar codes into bigger themes. These themes are the main ideas or patterns that help answer the research question. 4. Interpreting the Data Interpretation in research data analysis is about making sense of the themes in light of the research goals. Researchers dig into what the data is showing and how it connects to their questions or hypotheses. 5. Presenting Findings The final step in research data analysis is putting all the insights into a clear, engaging story. This often involves using quotes from participants, highlighted images, or excerpts from audio transcripts to back up the findings. Tools for Qualitative Data Analysis While many researchers still analyze data manually, software tools can make the process a lot easier. Softwares like NVivo, ATLAS.ti, and MAXQDA help with coding, organising, and visualising the data. These tools are especially helpful in research data analysis when working with large datasets. Applications of Qualitative Data Analysis 1. Text Analysis Textual data includes interview transcripts, written surveys, and documents. Researchers examine word choice, sentence structure, and overall content to uncover insights. 2. Image Analysis Analysing images in research data analysis involves looking at visual elements like colour, composition, and symbolism. This is often used in media studies, art history, and cultural research. 3. Audio Analysis Audio data analysis in research, such as recorded interviews or podcasts, requires careful listening to capture nuances like tone, emphasis, and pauses. The Importance of Data Analysis in Research Qualitative data analysis is a vital part of research, it helps to uncover the stories and meanings behind the numbers. It gives context and depth to numerical data. By working with non-numerical data researchers can: Understand how people think and behave in different situations Explore cultural and social trends to see how they shape communities. Build theories based on real-life experiences and observations Qualitative Research Best Practices 1. Be Clear About Your Purpose Start with a straightforward question or goal. Why are you conducting this research? Knowing what you're looking for helps you stay focused and avoid getting lost in the details when conducting research data analysis. 2. Choose the Right People Who can give you the best insights? Look for a mix of people with different experiences or perspectives. That makes it more valuable. 3. Build a Comfortable Environment Imagine yourself as one of the participants. Would you be at ease expressing your opinions in this setting? People are more open in an informal, welcoming environment. 4. Keep an Open Mind The unexpected may lead to the most insightful discoveries. Be adaptable and curious; go with the flow of the discussion. 5. Pay Attention to the Details Make thorough notes or, with consent, record the conversation. A person's tone, pauses, and body language can all give away a lot about their intentions. 6. Treat People with Care Be mindful of participants' boundaries, privacy, and time. Make sure they understand how their contributions will be used and that their contributions are valued. 7. Organise Your Findings Sort your data into themes or patterns once you have it. Look for frequent arguments people give when answering your question. 8. Share What You Learn Use actual quotes or cases as you write up your findings so that readers may see what others are saying in their own words. 9. Keep Learning Each project is an opportunity to develop your abilities. To improve even more over time, take note of what went well and what didn't. In conclusion Research data analysis in qualitative studies turns raw data into insights. Whether it’s text, images or audio this process helps researchers explore the personal and cultural aspects of their work, to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and views behind the data. It combines structure with interpretation to make rich descriptive data meaningful. .wp-block-image img { max-width: 85% !important; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; } </p></div></div></a><a class="relative duration-200 my-2" data-test="blogCard-What is the Science Citation Index: Key Facts" href="/blog/what-is-the-science-citation-index-key-facts"><div class="h-full rounded-xl overflow-hidden"><img alt="What is the Science Citation Index: Key Facts" loading="lazy" width="331" height="212" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="w-full object-cover h-40 rounded-2xl" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Grey-Minimalist-Tips-Blog-Banner.png&w=384&q=100 1x, /_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Grey-Minimalist-Tips-Blog-Banner.png&w=750&q=100 2x" src="/_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Grey-Minimalist-Tips-Blog-Banner.png&w=750&q=100"/><div class="p-4"><div class="flex tracking-widest justify-between text-xs title-font font-normal text-gray-500 mb-1 "><span class="flex items-center">Jan 22, 2025</span><span class="flex items-center">9<!-- --> <!-- -->Mins Read</span><span class="flex items-center bg-grey-100 rounded-xl py-1 px-2">Discover</span></div><h1 class="title-font text-md font-semibold text-gray-900 mb-3 overflow-hidden overflow-ellipsis line-clamp-2 md:text-lg">What is the Science Citation Index: Key Facts</h1><p class="leading-relaxed my-3 text-sm overflow-hidden overflow-ellipsis line-clamp-3 md:text-base"> Since 1964, the Science Citation Index (SCI) has provided a system for tracking citations across various fields, offering a way to analyse scientific contributions. Citation data is used by researchers, institutions, and funding bodies as one of the factors in assessing research activity and academic influence. A Brief History of the Science Citation Index The Science Citation Index (SCI) is a citation index database originally developed by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and now maintained by Clarivate Analytics as part of the Web of Science database. The SCI was introduced by Dr. Eugene Garfield, aiming to create a system that could track the flow of scientific ideas through citations. How to Find Your Citation Index The Science Citation Index (SCI) provides a way to track academic citations and analyse their connections within the scientific community. If you want to access and understand your SCI data, here’s how you can get started. Step 1: Access a Platform That Includes the Science Citation Index The Science Citation Index is integrated into the Web of Science. Begin by visiting the Web of Science website or your institution’s library portal, which may provide access. Note that a subscription is typically required for full access, so check with your university or research organisation if you don’t already have credentials. Step 2: Search for Your Name or Publications Once you’re in the platform, use the search bar to look up your name or specific research publications. To refine your results, you can add details like publication years, co-authors, or subject areas. Step 3: Explore Citation Metrics When you locate your work, you’ll see a breakdown of citation-related metrics. These can include: Citation Count: The number of times your work has been cited in other papers.H-Index: A metric combining productivity and citation impact.Citing Articles: A list of publications referencing your work. What is the Difference Between Scopus and the Science Citation Index? Scopus and the Science Citation Index (SCI) are two widely used citation databases in academic research. While both serve to track citations and assess research impact, they differ in scope, features, and focus. Here's a breakdown of the key differences to help you understand their unique roles. FeatureScience Citation IndexScopusPublisherPart of Clarivate’s Web of Science platform.Managed by Elsevier.Scope and SizeFocuses on high-impact journals.Covers a broader range of disciplines.Regional RepresentationHas a more selective approach, with a stronger focus on high-impact journals.Includes journals from diverse regions, including non-English publications.Tools and MetricsFocuses on traditional citation counts and the h-index.Offers advanced metrics like SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and SNIP.Which One Should You Use?If you’re focused on science journals or need historical citation data, the SCI is more suitable.If you need a broader dataset spanning multiple disciplines, Scopus is the better option. Why Citation Databases Matter If you've ever wondered how research builds on past work, citation databases make that process easier to follow. They track how studies reference each other, helping researchers see which ideas are shaping a field. For academics, this means knowing who is citing their work and how it's being used. Universities and funding organisations also look at citation data when making decisions about grants, hiring, and promotions. Beyond numbers, these databases help researchers find relevant studies without sifting through endless search results. Instead of starting from scratch, you can follow citation trails to discover useful papers and stay updated on new developments in your area of study. Conclusion The Science Citation Index is a common tool for tracking how research is cited and measuring its influence. While it helps researchers see connections between studies, there are ongoing discussions about its coverage, regional balance, and how it measures impact. As research evaluation methods change, keeping citation data clear and inclusive can help provide a more accurate picture of scientific contributions worldwide. .wp-block-image img { max-width: 85% !important; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; } </p></div></div></a><a class="relative duration-200 my-2" data-test="blogCard-International Day of Education, AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation" href="/blog/international-day-of-education-ai-and-education-preserving-human-agency-in-a-world-of-automation"><div class="h-full rounded-xl overflow-hidden"><img alt="International Day of Education, AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation" loading="lazy" width="331" height="212" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="w-full object-cover h-40 rounded-2xl" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/ai-education.webp&w=384&q=100 1x, /_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/ai-education.webp&w=750&q=100 2x" src="/_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/ai-education.webp&w=750&q=100"/><div class="p-4"><div class="flex tracking-widest justify-between text-xs title-font font-normal text-gray-500 mb-1 "><span class="flex items-center">Jan 21, 2025</span><span class="flex items-center">5<!-- --> <!-- -->Mins Read</span><span class="flex items-center bg-grey-100 rounded-xl py-1 px-2">News</span></div><h1 class="title-font text-md font-semibold text-gray-900 mb-3 overflow-hidden overflow-ellipsis line-clamp-2 md:text-lg">International Day of Education, AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation</h1><p class="leading-relaxed my-3 text-sm overflow-hidden overflow-ellipsis line-clamp-3 md:text-base"> Every year on January 24, people around the world come together to celebrate the International Day of Education.

Now, we’ll discuss some AI ethical issues and what you should not be doing with AI in your research journey. This blog looks at common mistakes people make with AI in research, explains why they happen, and offers practical tips to avoid them. 1. Trusting AI Outputs Without Checking Them One big AI ethical issue is trusting everything AI tools generate without taking the time to verify it. AI models like ChatGPT can produce convincing answers, but they’re not always accurate. In research, this can lead to spreading incorrect information or drawing the wrong conclusions. Why It Happens: AI systems learn from existing data, which might include errors or biases. As a result, they can unintentionally repeat those issues. What You Can Do: Treat AI-generated content as a helpful draft, not the final word. Always double-check the information with reliable sources. 2. Using AI for Tasks That Require Human Judgment Relying on AI for decisions that need a human touch, like reviewing academic papers, is risky. These tasks often require context and empathy, which AI doesn’t have. Why It Happens: AI seems efficient, but it doesn’t understand the subtleties of human situations, leading to potential AI ethical issues in judgment and fairness. What You Can Do: Let AI assist with organizing or summarizing information, but make sure a person is involved in decisions that affect others. 3. Not Giving Credit to AI Tools Even when AI is used responsibly, failing to acknowledge its role can mislead readers about the originality of your work. Why It Happens: People might not think of AI as a source that needs to be cited, overlooking important AI ethical issues related to transparency and attribution. What You Can Do: Treat AI tools like any other resource. Check your institution’s or publisher’s guidelines for how to cite them properly. 4. Over-Reliance on AI for Creative Thinking AI can handle repetitive tasks, but depending on it too much can stifle human creativity. Research often involves brainstorming new ideas, which AI can’t do as well as people. Why It Happens: AI makes routine tasks more manageable, so letting it take over more complex ones is tempting. What You Can Do: Use AI to free up critical thinking and creative problem-solving time. Let it handle the busy work while you focus on the bigger picture to avoid these AI ethical issues. 5. Giving AI Access to Sensitive Data Allowing AI tools to access personal information without proper permission can pose serious security risks. Why It Happens: Some AI tools require access to data to function effectively, but their security measures might not be sufficient leading to potential AI ethical issues. What You Can Do: Limit the data AI tools can access. Use platforms with strong security features and comply with data protection regulations. Final Thoughts AI can be a valuable tool for researchers, but it’s not without its challenges. Many of these challenges stem from AI ethical issues that arise when AI is misused or misunderstood. By understanding these common mistakes and taking steps to address them, you can use AI responsibly and effectively. The key is to see AI as an assistant that complements human effort, not a replacement. .wp-block-image img { max-width: 80% !important; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; } </p></div></div></a><a class="relative duration-200 my-2" data-test="blogCard-Speed Up Your Research With “Insights”" href="/blog/speed-up-your-research-with-insights"><div class="h-full rounded-xl overflow-hidden"><img alt="Speed Up Your Research With “Insights”" loading="lazy" width="331" height="212" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="w-full object-cover h-40 rounded-2xl" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/insghts.png&w=384&q=100 1x, /_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/insghts.png&w=750&q=100 2x" src="/_next/image?url=https://curated-unify.zendy.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/insghts.png&w=750&q=100"/><div class="p-4"><div class="flex tracking-widest justify-between text-xs title-font font-normal text-gray-500 mb-1 "><span class="flex items-center">Dec 18, 2024</span><span class="flex items-center">3<!-- --> <!-- -->Mins Read</span><span class="flex items-center bg-grey-100 rounded-xl py-1 px-2">Discover</span></div><h1 class="title-font text-md font-semibold text-gray-900 mb-3 overflow-hidden overflow-ellipsis line-clamp-2 md:text-lg">Speed Up Your Research With “Insights”</h1><p class="leading-relaxed my-3 text-sm overflow-hidden overflow-ellipsis line-clamp-3 md:text-base"> 'Insights', a brand-new feature designed to make your research experience faster, simpler, and more accessible.

However, as AI continues to evolve, it is important to ensure it is developed and used responsibly. In this blog, we’ll explore what responsible AI means, why it is essential, and how tools like ZAIA, Zendy's AI assistant for researchers, implement these principles in the academic sector. What Is Responsible AI? Responsible AI, also known as ethical AI refers to building and using AI tools guided by key principles: Fairness Reliability Safety Privacy and Security Inclusiveness Transparency Accountability AI vs Responsible AI: Why Does Responsible AI Matter? Keep in mind that AI is not a human being. This means it lacks the ability to comprehend ethical standards or a sense of responsibility in the same way humans do. Therefore, ensuring these concepts are embedded in the development team before creating the tool is more important than building the tool itself. In 2016, Microsoft launched a Twitter chatbot called "Tay", a chatbot designed to entertain 18- to 24-year-olds in the US to explore the conversational capabilities of AI. Within just 16 hours, the tool's responses turned toxic, racist, and offensive due to being fed harmful and inappropriate content by some Twitter users. This led to the immediate shutdown of the project, followed by an official apology from the development team. In such cases, "Tay" lacked ethical guidelines to help it differentiate harmful content from appropriate content. For this reason, it is crucial to train AI tools on clear principles and ethical frameworks that enable them to produce more responsible outputs.The development process should also include designing robust monitoring systems to continuously review and update the databases' training, ensuring they remain free of harmful content. Overall, the more responsible the custodian is, the better the child’s behaviour will be. The Challenges And The Benefits of Responsible AI Responsible AI is not a "nice-to-have" feature, it’s a foundational set of principles that every AI-based tool must implement. Here's why: Fairness: By addressing biases, responsible AI ensures every output is relevant and fair for all society’s values. Trust: Transparency in how AI works builds trust among users. Accountability: Developers and organisations adhere to high standards, continuously improving AI tools and holding themselves accountable for their outcomes. This ensures that competition centers on what benefits communities rather than simply what generates more revenue. Implementing responsible AI comes with its share of challenges: Biased Data: AI systems often learn from historical data, which may carry biases. This can lead to skewed outcomes, like underrepresenting certain research areas or groups. Awareness Gaps: Not all developers and users understand the ethical implications of AI, making education and training critical. Time Constraints: AI tools are sometimes developed rapidly, bypassing essential ethical reviews, which increases the risk of errors.
