The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in higher education has become increasingly important because of the time and effort savings and the speed of information transfer. However, many ethical and legal challenges make their use in this field a complex issue. Problems such as bias and discrimination that arise from AI Tools require the establishment of a legal system capable of controlling their use in an optimal manner. However, the legal regulation of the use of AI Tools in higher education, especially in the fields of research and data analysis, does not reach the required level. Although many countries have begun to use these tools in higher education and scientific research, the legal framework is still not at the required level. This research attempts to explore the legal and ethical challenges of using AI in higher education and scientific research with the aim of focusing on the importance of developing a legal framework capable of promoting the use of AI Tools in the scientific and educational sectors. The paper highlights the most important relevant laws in technologically advanced countries in general to measure the extent to which they are reflected in reality.
