Abstract:
In an era of rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is becoming increasingly important to become familiar with the tools and technologies available to enhance academic research. This article provides a detailed overview of AI tools suitable for the academic community, with an emphasis on their practical uses and possible applications in various fields of science.

The article analyses different types of AI tools. For each type of tool, key features, advantages and disadvantages, and examples of their use in different areas of academic research are presented.

As well as providing academics with a useful resource for selecting appropriate AI tools for their research projects, this article will also help them to better understand the opportunities and challenges that the use of AI brings to their field. The advent of AI opens up new possibilities for academic research, but it is also important to be aware of the ethical and practical considerations that this new technology brings. The development of AI can bring advances, but it can also raise questions about transparency, accountability and privacy.

Last but not least, it is important to stress the importance of education and training in the field of AI so that scientists are able to use these tools to their full potential while avoiding potential dangers and misunderstandings. The provision of adequate training and resources is key to enabling academics to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by AI, and to ensuring that its development is guided and beneficial to society as a whole.
