Re-presenting is the need of the hour, and re-searching it in contemporary Research. Reading has become an ever-ending as the world progresses by leaps and bounds. Research has become an everyday phenomenon in academic pursuits and blurs personal and political lines. Fabrication or Manipulation of data is against research ethics, and the most painful thing is that academia in contemporary times is flooded with data fabrication through AI. The usage of AI is becoming an impeccable phenomenon in academic discourses, even though it has pros and cons. However, regarding Research, the original output needs to be validated. Making the unknown known is the prime aim of Empirical Research, but the saddest truth is that after the advent of AI, academia is making the unknown known, which the researcher does not know. This research article mainly dwells on the nuances of AI applications, how they affect research integrity and their impact on Research and development.}, }
