Summary/Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) represents artificial intelligence (AI) capable of creating new content, in different formats (text, images, audio, video, etc.), by applying large-scale machine learning models. The application of GenAI tools in different fields have led to intense debates within the professional communities, but also in the public space, regarding the performance ensured by the use of GenAI tools (ChatGPT, Gan.ai, CodeWP, DecorAI, SchoolAI, etc.), but also the aspects of the ethical and legal nature associated with the use of these tools. Education and scientific research represent two of the fields in which GenAI tools have been and are increasingly used today, causing real concerns, mainly in terms of ensuring the development of students' skills, on the one hand and respecting copyright and intellectual property rights, on the other hand. The European Parliament discussed a series of documents related to AI, documents that define a European approach to the use of AI systems. The paper aims to present the results of a study carried out by the authors about the ethical and legal implications of using GenAI in education and research. Also, the authors analyzed the European approach in AI systems, to establish to what extent it satisfies the regulatory requirements for the use of GenAI in the fields of education and scientific research and represents an appropriate starting point in defining the future European legislation in the field of AI.
