Abstract


The principle of good faith and fair dealing, originating in Roman law and continually evolving through various legal traditions, serves as a cornerstone of contemporary legal and ethical standards. In the context of academic writing, this principle demands that students act with integrity when utilizing external sources, including those generated by artificial intelligence. Respect for good faith and fair dealing ensures the preservation of academic values, fosters trust within the academic community, and upholds the dignity of scholarly work. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in academic writing has raised significant ethical and legal questions, particularly regarding the proper attribution of sources and the integrity of scholarly work. As AI tools become more sophisticated, understanding the application of traditional legal principles, such as good faith and fair dealing, is essential to ensuring academic integrity. To better understand this principle, we will explore its roots, the motivation behind its establishment, and trace its development alongside the evolution of social and economic conditions.
