When The Pen Is Not Entirely Ours: Ethical Considerations And Academic Integrity In Technology-supported Writing
Authors : Fadel Houda .
Abstract
This paper aims to examine the ethical considerations and academic integrity challenges raised by technology-supported writing, with particular attention to generative artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Adopting a qualitative, narrative literature review methodology, the study synthesizes recent scholarship on academic integrity, technology-supported writing, and second-language authorship. It addresses three central questions: how generative AI reshapes notions of authorship and originality, why transparency rather than detection should govern the ethical use of AI in writing, and how the documented bias of AI-detection tools against non-native English writers affects EFL learners specifically. Drawing on this synthesis, the paper proposes practical principles and guidelines for the ethical use of writing technologies by students, educators, and institutions. It concludes that academic integrity in the age of AI-supported writing depends less on prohibition or detection than on transparency, clearly articulated expectations, and assessment designs that make honest engagement with one’s own learning the most reasonable choice available to students.
