A new study found an AI detector developed by the University of Kansas can detect AI-generated content in academic papers with a 99% accuracy rate, one of the only detectors on the market specifically geared toward academic writing.
According to a report published Wednesday in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, researchers created a tool that can prove AI detection in academic papers with 99% accuracy.
The team of researchers selected 64 perspectives (a type of article) and used them to make 128 articles using ChatGPT, which was then used to train the AI detector.
The model had a 100% accuracy rate of identifying human-created articles from AI-generated ones, and a 92% accuracy rate for identifying specific paragraphs within the text.
According to a survey by Study.com, 89% of college students have admitted to using ChatGPT to help with assignments, while 34% of educators believe the software should be banned, though 66% support students having access.
