Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming research methodologies and academic writing processes. From literature review automation to data analysis, hypothesis generation, and draft writing assistance, AI tools have become essential in modern research workflows. While AI promises profound benefits such as increased efficiency, improved writing quality, and accessibility for non-native researchers, its integration raises critical concerns related to academic integrity, ethical use, reliability of outputs, and researcher dependency. This paper synthesizes current evidence on how AI supports and challenges research methodology and thesis writing, examines the ethical landscape, outlines best practices for responsible use, and proposes future directions for integrating AI effectively into academia.
