The emergence and application of artificial intelligence (AI) in education have raised significant concerns pertaining to academic integrity. Currently, there are numerous AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek, and Gemini, which students can use to generate research papers, discussion posts, essays, and do mathematical calculations. When learners use such tools to complete their academic activities, they do not acquire the knowledge and skills as portrayed in their respective course objectives. Some of the AI tools can generate content that is AI undetectable since they have the capability of a human AI writer. As such, renowned researchers from Wayne State University are developing a detection system that can identify undetectable AI in student work. 

Wayne State researchers have noted that the only way that universities can retain academic integrity is by developing effective AI detection systems that can detect AI in student work, particularly in papers that are AI undetectable or those that have been written using a human AI writer. The AI detection tools that are currently being used by the majority of higher education institutions include ZeroGPT and Turnitin plagiarism and AI detection tools. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these tools questionable since the AI technology is rapidly advancing and the AI detection tools are left behind. As such, the ethical concerns, accuracy, and effectiveness of student work remain unaddressed. Although AI detection using the available tools is insufficient, having a team of renowned researchers and software developers whose task is to develop AI detection systems, can change things positively. For instance, an effective AI detection tool that can detect AI in student work that has been generated by a human AI writer can help professors, instructors, and teachers to ensure that they meet all the course objectives. Learners who will be caught having used AI to complete their assignments can be punished so that other students can stop relying on AI tools to handle their academic tasks. 

A responsible and ethical application of AI tools require well-established rules and guidelines. As a result, Wayne State researchers are ensuring that they come up with appropriate policies that will guide students how to use AI tools as learning resources but not using them to complete their research papers and essays. In particular, AI tools can assist in streamlining specific academic tasks without students engaging in academic dishonesty. For example, they can be used to generate data that learners might use to practice how to handle mathematical calculations. However, it is unethical to use AI tools to partially or fully generate work that is submitted to the school. AI undetectable work or papers that have been written using a human AI writer will pass Turnitin AI detection checks. Wayne State researchers will offer training to the institution’s faculty, staff, and students so that they can understand how they can use these AI tools ethically and responsibly. Besides, Wayne State University is strict when it comes to maintaining academic honesty and integrity since it knows that this policy makes it possible in ensuring that students can acquire knowledge and skills that will make them highly competitive in the job market. 

Wayne State researchers understand that the task of developing an effective AI detection tool that can identify AI undetectable work or papers written by a human AI writer, is a tedious. Additionally, they are focusing on identifying inconsistencies and patterns of AI generated papers. For instance, AI detectors usually analyze text by checking for specific semantics, language use, and writing style similarities. In some instances, papers generated by AI have been found to use complex vocabularies, poor sentence structures, or diction. Researchers are developing an AI detection system that can analyze various aspects of student papers to ensure that no AI tool has been used in generating them. In addition, another aspect of AI generated work is the lack of incorporation of personal experiences, inconsistent tone, overly use of formal language, and unusual phrases. Another field that AI tools have failed to do like humans is in citing and referencing. A paper generated using AI tool is likely to have inaccurate citations and poor referencing. Consequently, this is a crucial aspect that is guiding Wayne State researchers in coming up with an effective AI detection system that will be capable in analyzing whether an AI tool has been used in completing various academic tasks. 

To conclude, Wayne State researchers are doing a significant thing of developing an AI detection system for undetectable AI in student work or one that has been generated using a human AI writer. They are working together with students, faculty staff, and educators so that they can consider all the aspects regarding the application of AI tools in learning. The AI detector being developed will analyze numerous aspects including writing semantics, styles, diction, vocabulary usage, inconsistent tone, unusual phrases, and overly use of formal language. Notably, the successful development of this advanced AI detector will enable Wayne State University and other academic institutions to retain academic honesty and integrity.
