Claude AI has been used as a research tool and writing assistant to improve college students' writing skills and research activities. I am interested in studies related to the ethical use of AI in qualitative research (Reflexive Thematic Analysis) and if any journal has recently been published.
Most of the existing work on AI in qualitative data analysis uses ChatGPT simply because it has been available for longer. I personally do not see any reason to distinguish Claude from other AIs in terms of their use for qualitative data analysis.
Currently there are big 4 general-purpose chatbots: Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsolft’s Copilot, and Google’s Gemini. To choose which one to use depends on your needs, the capacities the tools offer. Claude, esp. 3.5 Sonnet model for me is the most trusted tool simply based my experience and intuition - as long as you spend enough time with a tool you can obtain this sense. ChatGPT offers a wider range of capabilities though
Claude states that by default transcript data is not used for model training, which is a big plus from an ethical perspective. In contrast, tools like Otter AI, do. So if you upload your interview transcript to tools that use content (even de-identified) for model training, this is a rather large breach of human subject data. I'd be interested in seeing how IRBs are dealing with this.
