EX-HEAD OF HARVARD UP IN PLAGIARISM SCANDAL!
Harvard University’s assistant professor in their anthropology department, Claudine Gay, previously known as an academic superstar, faced dozens of plagiarism allegations against her prior to her resignation on Tuesday. The accusations were serious, hard-hitting and relentless.
AI-Powered Plagiarism Technology Takes Over
Alon Yamin is the co-founder and CEO of the AI-based text analysis platform Copyleaks. Yamin stated that AI has revolutionized plagiarism technology to a more sophisticated and thorough analysis. The new type of tools are able to identify even if the content is completely rephrased, and it’s not necessary to even know the language! “Let’s say you translated something from Spanish to English. If you have the ability to understand the meaning of the text, the language becomes almost irrelevant. You know, if I know that this is a cup of tea, I know it’s a cup of tea in English. I know it’s a cup of tea in German and in Mandarin,” said Yamin.
Future of Plagiarism Detection
Yamin strongly believes that with the advancement of AI technology, AI-based plagiarism detectors have already become an education standard in academia. With the spotlight on plagiarism in the wake of the Harvard scandal, schools around the world are anticipated to intensify the use of this technology.
