description Abstract The global landscape of medical research and writing over the last decade has been evolving rapidly. It got a major boost by the public launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. It has been further accelerated due to the widespread availability and easy access to a variety of artificial intelligence (AI) tools based on Large Language Models (LLMs).1 The use of AI tools in medical research and writing is on the rise. However, many students, faculty members and researchers particularly in developing countries are still unclear on the transparent and ethical integration of the AI tools in research and writing. We propose a framework for the appropriate integration of AI in medical research and writing in context of a developing country like Pakistan. It highlights responsible and transparent use of AI tools, discuss authorship in the era of AI tools and how to ensure scientific integrity. How AI Tools can enhance Research and Writing AI tools can help researchers with various steps of research and writing like brainstorming and refining research questions, creating questionnaires, detailed data analysis, creating outlines of the manuscripts and improving the readability by enhancing the language, grammar and syntax of the text.2 This can potentially improve the efficiency and productivity of the researchers. However, there are some ethical challenges unique to the use of these AI tools that need consideration. It is important to establish and follow a framework for responsible and ethical use of AI in research and writing that promotes transparency, upholds the integrity of the research and maintains public trust in research findings.3 ......................
