Abstract

This essay questions the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models like ChatGPT to enable academics to work in multiple languages. ChatGPT has the potential to dismantle the dominance of English in research communication. Adapting Te Eni's model of communication complexity, I explore the implications of using ChatGPT for non-native English speakers in the development, inputs, process, and impact of research communication. I then relate these technological changes to broader reflections on the relationship between machines and humans and the implications for the future of academic research. I argue that far from democratizing research communication, the proliferation of AI models like ChatGPT is creating new power imbalances and hegemonic positions that raise important ethical concerns for the academic community.

人工智能学术研究民主化：语言的误导性案例

这篇文章对使用人工智能（AI）模型（如 ChatGPT）使学者能够使用多种语言工作提出了质疑。ChatGPT 有可能打破英语在研究交流中的主导地位。根据特-埃尼（Te Eni）的交流复杂性模型，我探讨了在研究交流的发展、输入、过程和影响方面，使用 ChatGPT 对英语非母语者的影响。然后，我将这些技术变革与对机器与人类之间关系的更广泛思考以及对未来学术研究的影响联系起来。我认为，像 ChatGPT 这样的人工智能模型的扩散不仅没有使研究交流民主化，反而造成了新的权力不平衡和霸权地位，给学术界带来了重要的伦理问题。

期刊介绍： Critical Perspectives on Accounting aims to provide a forum for the growing number of accounting researchers and practitioners who realize that conventional theory and practice is ill-suited to the challenges of the modern environment, and that accounting practices and corporate behavior are inextricably connected with many allocative, distributive, social, and ecological problems of our era. From such concerns, a new literature is emerging that seeks to reformulate corporate, social, and political activity, and the theoretical and practical means by which we apprehend and affect that activity. Research Areas Include: • Studies involving the political economy of accounting, critical accounting, radical accounting, and accounting''s implication in the exercise of power • Financial accounting''s role in the processes of international capital formation, including its impact on stock market stability and international banking activities • Management accounting''s role in organizing the labor process • The relationship between accounting and the state in various social formations • Studies of accounting''s historical role, as a means of "remembering" the subject''s social and conflictual character • The role of accounting in establishing "real" democracy at work and other domains of life • Accounting''s adjudicative function in international exchanges, such as that of the Third World debt • Antagonisms between the social and private character of accounting, such as conflicts of interest in the audit process • The identification of new constituencies for radical and critical accounting information • Accounting''s involvement in gender and class conflicts in the workplace • The interplay between accounting, social conflict, industrialization, bureaucracy, and technocracy • Reappraisals of the role of accounting as a science and technology • Critical reviews of "useful" scientific knowledge about organizations
