Generative AI (GenAI) in qualitative research raises several ethical concerns, including the potential for bias amplification, challenges with informed consent, and risks to privacy and confidentiality. It also questions the authenticity and trustworthiness of AI-generated data, as well as the transparency and accountability of AI-driven analysis. Additionally, the use of GenAI may alter the researcher-participant relationship and reduce critical engagement, while also complicating issues of intellectual property and authorship. To address these concerns, researchers must ensure ethical practices by maintaining transparency, integrity, and respect for participants.
