This new AI can detect cheating, understands if someone else wrote your assignment

Several studies have shown that cheating on assignments is widespread and becoming increasingly prevalent among high school students. To combat that, scientists have created an artificial intelligence system that can accurately identify whether a student wrote their assignment on their own or got it penned by a ghostwriter. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have been working on ways to detect cheating on assignments through writing analysis by way of artificial intelligence have been underway for a few years. Based on analyses of 130,000 written Danish assignments, scientists can, with nearly 90 percent accuracy, detect whether a student has written an assignment on their own or had it composed by a ghostwriter. About the Ghostwriter programme "Our programme identifies discrepancies in writing styles by comparing recently submitted writing against a student's previously submitted work," Lorenzen said.
