University of Kansas scientists have developed an AI detection tool with 99% accuracy, able to identify scientific texts generated by AI such as ChatGPT. This tool could defend scientific integrity by detecting when AI-generated text is presented as work from a human mind. The tool was specially designed to recognize the difference between AI and human writing, focusing on scientific writings in peer-reviewed journals generating better accuracy than general-purpose detectors. The team made their AI-detecting code accessible to researchers emphasizing the great opportunities for people to get involved in AI and make useful contributions.
