The integration of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in research has revolutionized scientific inquiry, offering a plethora of advantages alongside inherent challenges. This literature review paper analyzed 78 articles from electronic databases such as PubMed, IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Advantages in the use of AI in research includes enhanced efficiency and precision, predictive modeling and insight generation, and facilitation of interdisciplinary collaboration. Then challenges are related to algorithm bias, lack of transparency, ethical concerns, and data privacy and security. Thus, while researchers benefit from AI's capabilities, they must simultaneously address these challenges to ensure responsible and equitable use of AI in research practices.
