Protecting originality: Detecting plagiarism and AI-generated content using Machine Learning
The rise of AI-generated plagiarism is a serious threat to academic integrity. Research shows that some students openly admit to plagiarism, including using AI tools like ChatGPT to create or reword content. This creates challenges for current detection tools, which struggle to identify advanced techniques like paraphrasing aimed at evading traditional plagiarism detection. This PhD project aims to develop advanced machine learning solutions and explore guidelines to prevent both traditional and AI-generated plagiarism, ensuring the legitimacy of academic work. Technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing are primarily used for research along with other teaching methods to address the issue of plagiarism.
